Long Division
1 a method of dividing polynomials which follows the same process in dividing
whole numbers
Example:
Division Algorithm
2 suppose and are polynomials such that the degree of is less than or equal to the
degree of and , then there exist polynomials and , where the degree of is less
than the degree of , which satisfy the equation
Example:
The quotient when is divided by is , and its remainder is .
Using the division algorithm, we can write the dividend as
Try It!
Solution:
1. Arrange the terms of the dividend in descending powers
of the variable, replacing 0 to any missing term.
Try It!
Solution:
2. Divide the first term of the dividend by the first term of
the divisor and write the quotient on top of .
Try It!
Solution:
3. Multiply the quotient obtained in Step 2 by the divisor
and write the product below the dividend.
Try It!
Solution:
4. Subtract the product obtained in Step 3 from the first two
terms of the dividend and write the result below.
Try It!
Solution:
5. Bring down the next term of the dividend
Try It!
Solution:
6. Repeat Step 2 to Step 5 until all terms
are brought down and the last difference
obtained has a degree lower than the
divisor.
