Division Practice
Drill the times tables backwards: pick a table, then answer ten "product ÷ factor = ▢" questions with instant feedback — the quickest way to make division facts automatic.
How it works
Practise first, read after. Choose a table below and press Begin — you'll get ten questions like "56 ÷ 8 = ▢", each the inverse of a multiplication fact, with instant right/wrong feedback. Then keep scrolling for why inverse practice works and answers to common questions. Nothing you type is stored.
The division quiz
Division practice means drilling the times tables in reverse: if you know 8 × 7 = 56, then 56 ÷ 8 = 7 should come just as fast. Because every question is built from a multiplication fact, the answer is always a whole number from 1 to 12 — no remainders to worry about, just two-way recall.
Key takeaways
- Division is the inverse of multiplication — same facts, read backwards.
- No remainders — every quotient is a clean 1–12.
- Two-way fluency beats one-way recall for real understanding.
- Wrong answers reveal the quotient so the fact sticks.
- No account, no data — it runs in the browser.
Why practise the inverse facts
A child who only ever drills "8 × 7" can stall when they meet "56 ÷ 8". The facts are identical, but the brain stores them separately until you practise both directions. Inverse practice closes that gap — and it is the bridge to long division, simplifying fractions, and mental-maths shortcuts later on.
Tips that make it click
Say the multiplication out loud
When your child sees "63 ÷ 9", encourage them to think "nine times what is sixty-three?" Hearing the partner fact turns a division question into a multiplication one they already know.
Start with a table they own
Pick a table your child is confident with by multiplication first. Early wins build the habit, and the trickier tables feel far less daunting once the routine is in place.
Little and often
Ten questions a day beats a long weekend session. Short, spaced rounds are how facts move into permanent memory.
Frequently asked questions
How does division practice work here?
Pick a table — say ×8 — and we ask ten questions like "56 ÷ 8 = ▢". Every question is the inverse of a multiplication fact you already know, so the answer is always a whole number from 1 to 12. Type it and press Check for instant feedback.
Why practise division alongside the times tables?
Multiplication and division are two sides of the same fact: if 8 × 7 = 56, then 56 ÷ 8 = 7. Drilling the inverse turns shaky recall into solid, two-way fluency and prepares children for long division and fractions.
Are there any remainders?
No. Every question divides exactly because it is built from a times-table fact, so the answer is always a clean whole number between 1 and 12. That keeps the focus on recall rather than remainder arithmetic.
Which table should we start with?
Start with a table your child already knows by multiplication — the 2s, 5s or 10s are friendly first divisions. Once those feel automatic, move to the trickier 6s, 7s and 8s. See a good order to learn the tables.
Is it free, and is anything stored?
It is completely free, needs no account, and stores nothing. Questions are generated in your browser and nothing you type is sent anywhere.
What should we do after division practice?
Mix it with multiplication recall: try a single-table practice round, then mixed practice across several tables, then a timed speed test for fluency.
Division facts are mathematical (56 ÷ 8 = 7 is exact). The inverse-practice approach and "little and often" advice reflect widely used primary-maths teaching.
