Division word problems worksheet — Sharing and grouping, free printable with answer key

The answer key prints on a separate page.

What's on this sheet

Sharing problems hand out a total equally and ask how many each person gets; grouping problems pack a total into equal-sized batches and ask how many batches there are. They are the same operation from opposite ends, and a child who meets both stops thinking division is only "splitting between people." Every total divides evenly, so answers are whole numbers a child can check by multiplying back.

Why this sheet works

The numbers come from the same tables the child is practicing in multiplication, which is the point — division facts are multiplication facts read backwards, and seeing 24 shared among 3 as the partner of 3 × 8 is what makes both stick.
