Dividing by 8 worksheets
Eight is two doubled twice, so dividing by 8 is halving three times — a route a child can walk without knowing the eight times table at all. These free printable worksheets cover 8 ÷ 8 through 80 ÷ 8, whole numbers only.

What's on this sheet
Halve, halve, halve. 56 ÷ 8 goes 56 → 28 → 14 → 7. Each step is a move a child is already fluent in, and three easy steps beat one fact they are unsure of. It also makes the answer self-checking: if a halving ever lands on something odd, the arithmetic went wrong somewhere.
Why this sheet works
The fact family is the destination: 72 ÷ 8 = 9 because 8 × 9 = 72. Locking a page to the divisor 8 gives the repetition that turns three halvings into one remembered fact.
How this one works
One question from this sheet, worked through a step at a time.
24 ÷ 8
24÷8
8×?=24
8×3=24
24÷8=3
3×8=24
- 24 ÷ 8 means sharing 24 out equally between 8. Deal them round one at a time until they run out; the answer is how many end up in one share.
- Dealing out 24 one at a time works, and takes all day. The shortcut is the same fact read backwards: 8 shares of WHAT makes 24?
- 8 × 3 = 24. That is the one, so 24 ÷ 8 = 3.
- Worth checking, because it costs one multiplication: 3 × 8 = 24. It matches, so the answer holds.
