Division Test Review Guide
Vocabulary: Give an example for each.
1) divisor: the number of equal groups in a division problem
2) dividend: the total number of groups that you start with before fair sharing
3) quotient: the answer to a division problem
4) remainder: the amount leftover after “fair sharing” or “making equal groups”
5) volume: the measurement of space inside a 3-dimensional figure
Division Relationships: Explain the relationship and give an example.
1) The relationship between division and subtraction:
_______________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________
2) The relationship between division and multiplication:
_______________________________________________________________________

Division With Multiples of 10; 100; 1,000, etc.: Use mental math to find the
following quotients
1) 72,000 ÷ 80 = ___________________
2) 55,000 ÷ 500 = ________________

Interpreting the Remainder: Solve each problem using the Using 4-Step Problem
Solving Method. Be sure to show all of your work!
1) John and his three siblings bought a stereo system for their parents for their anniversary.
The stereo system cost $267.00 including tax which they split evenly. How much did each
sibling contribute towards the gift?
What does the remainder mean? ______________________________________________
What do you do with the remainder? __________________
2) The fifth grade teachers in Livingston are putting together a field trip to the museum. A
total of 795 students, teachers, and chaperones will be attending the trip. How many buses
should be reserved if each bus can seat 54 people?
What does the remainder mean? ______________________________________________
What do you do with the remainder? __________________
Word Problems: Solve each problem using the Using 4-Step Problem Solving
Method. Be sure to show all of your work!
1) Mrs. Smith asked her son to go to the grocery store for her. He had to purchase 2 gallons
of milk that cost $2.49 each, and 2 dozen eggs that cost $3.79 per dozen. How much change
will he get back if he gives the cashier a $20 bill?
2) The student council wanted to collect coats for a fundraiser to help the homeless in this
cold winter. They wanted to collect a total of 250 coats. If there are 19 classrooms in the
school, how many coats will each class have to collect in order for the student council to reach
their goal?
3) Timothy was going to have a birthday party at Funplex. He invited 20 other people to his
party, including friends and family. If it costs $12 per person for the party, how much did they
have to pay in total for his party?
Special Cases of Division: Replace x with the proper numeral or word phrase.
