Dividing by 10 worksheet — ÷ 10, whole-number answers, free printable with answer key

What's on this sheet

This table is really a place-value lesson in disguise. When you divide a multiple of ten by ten, every digit shifts one place to the right, which looks exactly like erasing the final zero. 80 becomes 8, 50 becomes 5, 100 becomes 10.

Why this sheet works

The fact family still holds it together: 80 ÷ 10 = 8 because 10 × 8 = 80. Because only tidy multiples of ten appear, the answers are always whole and the zeros always cooperate. Lock a page to the divisor 10 so the drop-a-zero move becomes instant.

How this one works

One question from this sheet, worked through a step at a time.

30 ÷ 10

30÷10
10×?=30
10×3=30
30÷10=3
3×10=30
  1. 30 ÷ 10 means sharing 30 out equally between 10. Deal them round one at a time until they run out; the answer is how many end up in one share.
  2. Dealing out 30 one at a time works, and takes all day. The shortcut is the same fact read backwards: 10 shares of WHAT makes 30?
  3. 10 × 3 = 30. That is the one, so 30 ÷ 10 = 3.
  4. Worth checking, because it costs one multiplication: 3 × 10 = 30. It matches, so the answer holds.
