PolynomialsDivisionWe say D is a factor of P if P = D×Q for some Q. In this case Determining Q from Example
The highest term in the numerator is x3. The highest term in the denominator is x. Start by dividing the highest term in the numerator by the highest term in the denominator, that is, dividing x into x3. More Examples (this will open in a new window) ExerciseCompute the polynomial division below. Check your answer when complete.
If D is not a factor of P, then P = D×Q + R, where R is a polynomial of degree smaller than that of D. Hence, Example
