Long Division with 2-Digit Divisors
Two-digit divisors change the game: the first step is an estimate, and the estimate is often wrong the first time. These problems use divisors from 11 to 49 and dividends up to four digits, so quotients stay at two digits and the estimating stays honest without turning into a slog. Exact division by default, remainders on request, twelve tall cells per page.

FAQ
Why stop the divisor at 49?
Divisors in the fifties and up make the trial quotient easier, not harder, because the first estimate is nearly always right. Divisors 11 to 49 are where students learn to adjust an estimate, which is the skill this page is for.
What grade is this for?
Fifth grade in most sequences, after one-digit divisors are solid. The one-digit long division page linked below is the step before.
Do the downloads include answer keys?
Yes, every PDF ends with a key page that repeats the layout with the answers in green. Flip the Answer key switch off if you only want the problems.
How do I print this long division worksheet?
Click Download PDF and print at 100% scale. The page is already sized for US Letter with printer-safe margins, so no fit-to-page fiddling is needed.
How many digits are the quotients?
Two, from 12 to 99. That keeps each problem to two rounds of divide, multiply, subtract, bring down, which fits the work space and matches how fifth grade textbooks introduce it.
Is there room to show the work?
Yes. Multi-digit pages use three or four columns instead of the five or six on fact pages, so each problem has empty space underneath for carrying marks, partial products or the long division steps.
Can I get different versions for each student?
Turn on the 5 versions switch before downloading. You get five different sheets in one PDF, each with its own answer key, so neighbouring desks cannot copy.
