Algebraic Long Division: Worksheets and Worked Solutions
Long division in algebra is a method you either have or you do not. Once the layout clicks it is one of the quickest marks on the paper. Work through the questions first, then check yourself against the solutions.
What you need to be able to do
- Divide a polynomial by a linear expression
- Handle missing terms without losing your place
- Read off the quotient and the remainder
- Use division to factorise a cubic
Worksheets and solutions
Every sheet is a free PDF. Do the questions first, then open the solutions.

I teach algebraic long division in person in Limerick and online, in small groups. If you are stuck on this topic, that is usually one conversation, not a term of work.
