Long multiplication worksheet generator

Print long multiplication with the working space already drawn: each question sits in its own ruled column grid, with a row for every partial product and the answer line underneath. Choose 2- or 3-digit numbers, a 1- or 2-digit multiplier and how many questions, then download a US Letter or A4 PDF with an answer key that shows the partials, not just the total.

Pick the digit lengths, preview the working grid, then download the PDF — no account needed.

Quick presets

Each working row holds the whole partial product with its trailing zero — 47 × 36 prints 282 then 1410 — so the rows add up exactly as they stand.

How it works

  1. Choose how many digits the top number has, and whether the multiplier is one digit or two.
  2. Set the number of questions — eight fill a page with room to work in each one.
  3. Download the PDF, print it, or copy a share link that restores these settings.

Using these worksheets in teaching

Long multiplication fails for two quite different reasons, and telling them apart is most of the teaching. The first is a multiplication-fact gap: a child who is unsure of 7 × 8 cannot hold the algorithm together while also recalling the fact, and the fix is fluency practice rather than more column work. The second is place value — the zero at the end of the second partial row. Written as this generator writes it, that row is genuinely 47 × 30, and a child who can say so out loud almost never drops the zero again; a child taught to "put a zero down because that is the rule" drops it for years. Give a 1-digit multiplier until the recording is automatic, then move to two digits and ask, before any arithmetic happens, roughly how big the answer will be: 47 × 36 is a bit under 50 × 36, so anything near 1800 is plausible and 169 is not. That estimate catches more errors than checking the working does, because it is made before the working can go wrong.

Frequently asked questions

Which method does the answer key use?
The standard algorithm taught in Australian, British and American elementary classrooms: one partial-product row per digit of the multiplier, each row written out in full with its trailing zero. 47 × 36 shows 282 and 1410, and those two rows add to 1692 exactly as they stand — no shift markers to decode.
How many partial rows are printed?
One per digit of the multiplier, plus the answer row. A 1-digit multiplier prints a single working row, which is the short method; a 2-digit multiplier prints two and a line to add them. Three-digit multipliers are not offered, because a third row plus the total no longer leaves a cell big enough to write in.
Can I switch to long division?
Yes — the Method selector at the top of the settings swaps the sheet to long division without leaving the page, and the long division page has the same selector back. Both print from the same generator, so a shared link opens on whichever method it was saved with.
Will the same questions come back?
Every sheet has a seed. The same settings and seed reproduce the identical worksheet, and the regenerate button draws a fresh set of questions from the same digit bands.
Is there an answer key?
Yes. Turn it on and every question is listed in order on a labelled page at the end of the PDF, written as the full worked line — the partials in brackets and the product.
