Pack the boxes
Every box, bag, or tray gets the same number of treats. Find how many go in each group and how many are left over.
1.
Rosa has 87 muffins. She packs 4 muffins in each box.
87 ÷ 4 = R
2.

Break the big number into parts that are easy to divide. Divide each part, then put the answers together.
6.
Ivy wants to find 924 ÷ 4. She breaks 924 into 800 + 120 + 4.
800 ÷ 4 =
120 ÷ 4 =
4 ÷ 4 =
So 924 ÷ 4 =
7.
The baker has 2,537 chocolate chips to split equally into 6 bowls. Ivy breaks 2,537 into 2,400 + 120 + 17.
2,400 ÷ 6 =
120 ÷ 6 =
17 ÷ 6 = 2 R
So 2,537 ÷ 6 = R
8.
Match each division to its quotient and remainder. One answer is not used.
9.
Circle every division that has a remainder of 0.
Check the baker's math
To check a division, multiply the quotient by the number you divided by, then add the remainder.
10.
Omar packs 643 pretzels into bags of 7. He says 643 ÷ 7 = 91 R 6. Check his answer.
7 × 91 =
637 + 6 =
