Division Facts (1-10)
30 division facts on two pages, written with the division sign like 56 ÷ 7 = ___. The divisors and the answers both run from 1 to 10. It's for 3rd and 4th graders who know most of their multiplication facts.

Division is multiplication backwards
Every problem here is a multiplication fact in disguise. For 42 ÷ 7, the question is 7 times what makes 42. A student who knows 7 × 6 = 42 has the answer, which is why division facts are hard to learn before the times tables are solid.
Fact families help. 6, 7, and 42 go together as 6 × 7, 7 × 6, 42 ÷ 7, and 42 ÷ 6, so one known fact gives four answers. If a student can do a fact one way but not the other, practice the multiplication fact rather than more division.
The division chart lists every fact from ÷1 to ÷12 for checking.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the dividend and the divisor?
In 72 ÷ 9 = 8, 72 is the dividend, the amount being split up. 9 is the divisor, and 8 is the quotient, the answer.
Should students learn multiplication before division?
It helps a lot. Division facts are easiest to recall as multiplication in reverse, so a student who still skip counts to multiply will be slow at division too.
Why are there problems like 5 ÷ 5 and 7 ÷ 1?
They practice two rules that come up all the time: any number divided by itself is 1, and any number divided by 1 stays the same.
