Larger Numbers: Practice dividing 2-digit and 3-digit numbers

Solved Example

Problem: A shopkeeper bought 125 notebooks. He sold 20 notebooks on Monday and wants to pack the remaining notebooks equally in 7 boxes. How many notebooks will be in each box? Will there be any notebooks left over?

Solution:

Step 1: 125 - 20 = 105 (remaining notebooks)

Step 2: 105 ÷ 7 = 15 (notebooks per box)

Remainder = 0

Answer: 15 notebooks per box, 0 left over

Scoring Guide

13-15 correct: Excellent! You've mastered Class 4 division. Try Class 5 word problems for more challenge.

10-12 correct: Very Good! Focus on multi-step problems. Practice: Subtract/Add first, then divide. Double-check remainders.

7-9 correct: Good Progress! Work on long division practice (3-digit ÷ 2-digit), write all steps clearly, and verify answers by multiplying back.

Below 7: Keep Practicing! Master division tables first (up to 12×12). Practice simple division (2-digit ÷ 1-digit) daily. Ask teacher to explain remainders again.

Pro Tips for Division Word Problems

Always write the problem in steps - don't try to solve everything at once

For remainders, check if quotient × divisor + remainder = dividend

Keywords: "equally", "each group", "distribute", "share" usually mean division

For multi-step problems, decide the order: usually subtract/add first, then divide

Draw diagrams or boxes to visualize how items are being grouped

Check if your answer makes sense: Can 7 boxes really hold 100+ notebooks each?

When there's a remainder, decide what it means: leftover items, need an extra box, etc.

Practice long division format to organize your work clearly
