Find the Missing Dividend or Divisor With Integers
Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher
"Find the Missing Dividend or Divisor With Integers" is written for 6th Grade (Ages 11-12). If your student is a year younger but already steady on integers, the page still works. You may just need to read the instructions out loud. And if they are older and division of integers never quite stuck, this is a short review rather than busywork.
6th grade math worksheet: find the missing dividend or divisor in 24 equations, such as (−36) divided by a number equals 6. Answer key included. Part of our division of integers collection.
How do I use this worksheet?
Use Divide Integers With Exact Quotients first to practice the sign rule. Then use the missing dividend or divisor page to connect division back to multiplication.
What students will practice
- Students will find the missing dividend or divisor in 24 integer division equations.
- Students will multiply to find a dividend, as in a number divided by (−8) equals 3.
- Students will divide to find a divisor, as in 66 divided by a number equals −6.

What does this worksheet teach?
⌄
Find the missing dividend or divisor in 24 equations, such as (−36) divided by a number equals 6. The directions on the page read: Write the missing integer that makes each equation true. An answer key is included.
Can I use this division of integers worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for 6th Grade integers, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with division of integers. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.
What is the sign rule for dividing integers?
⌄
Same signs give a positive quotient and different signs give a negative one. So (−54) ÷ (−6) = 9 and 72 ÷ (−9) = −8.
How do you find a missing dividend?
⌄
Multiply the divisor by the quotient. If a number divided by (−8) equals 3, the dividend is (−8) × 3 = −24.
Is there an answer key?
⌄
Yes. Both division of integers sheets have an answer key.
