Must the rows be shifted in long multiplication?

Yes. Each new row starts one place to the left because it multiplies by tens; a missed shift is the commonest error, so check the size of the answer by estimation.

How do I check a division with a remainder?

Use divisor x quotient + remainder = dividend, and confirm the remainder is smaller than the divisor; both must hold.

03 Answers and one-line notes

#	Answer	One-line note
1	884	34 x 26 = 680 + 204 = 884.
2	2,451	57 x 43 = 2,280 + 171 = 2,451.
3	1,456	208 x 7 = 1,400 + 56 = 1,456.
4	12	8 x 12 = 96, so 96 / 8 = 12.
5	13	12 x 13 = 156, so 156 / 12 = 13.
6	35	25 x 35 = 875, so 875 / 25 = 35.
7	6,170	1,234 x 5 = 5,000 + 1,170 = 6,170.
8	63	First 252 / 4 = 63, then adjust the zeros, so 2,520 / 40 = 63.
9	5,400	18 x 3 = 54, then two zeros give 5,400.
10	80	720 / 9 = 80, so 7,200 / 90 = 80.

04 What to do after marking

After marking, redo only the wrong items and write down which step went wrong (formula, unit, or misread number).
Repeat the same item two days later; move to the next paper only when both attempts are correct.
Parents only need the answer and note columns; there is no need to explain every item.
