1 Remainder and Factor Theorems
3.3 Dividing Polynomials Remainder and Factor Theorems

2 Long Division of Polynomials
Arrange the terms of both the dividend and the divisor in descending powers of any variable. Divide the first term in the dividend by the first term in the divisor. The result is the first term of the quotient.

3 Long Division of Polynomials contd.
Multiply every term in the divisor by the first term in the quotient. Write the resulting product beneath the dividend with like terms lined up. Subtract the product from the dividend.

4 Long Division of Polynomials contd.
Bring down the next term in the original dividend and write it next to the remainder to form a new dividend. Use this new expression as the dividend and repeat this process until the remainder can no longer be divided. This will occur when the degree of the remainder is less than the degree of the divisor.
