4-digit by 1-digit long division worksheets
By four digits the algorithm becomes a loop. These free printable worksheets set a four-digit dividend over a single-digit divisor — 3724 ÷ 4 — so the divide, multiply, subtract, bring-down cycle runs four times over, once for each place, every quotient landing on a whole number.

What's on this sheet
Each sheet prints the long-division house with a four-digit dividend inside and one divisor outside, laid out in tall rows with room to carry the work all the way down. Starting at the thousands, a child divides that place, multiplies back, subtracts, and brings down the hundreds — then does it again for the tens and the ones. The same four moves, four times, is the whole method.
Why this sheet works
Every dividend is built as divisor × quotient, so the answer is always exact — 3724 ÷ 4 is 931 with nothing left over. Remainders are deliberately left out so the focus stays on the rhythm and on keeping the columns straight, which is where four-digit division usually goes wrong. When a place will not divide, the quotient takes a zero there and the child brings the next digit down — a step worth meeting on clean numbers.
How this one works
One question from a sheet like this one, worked a step at a time — with a sentence saying what just happened and why.
