Hello… Do you still remember how to divide a large number using long division? Let us review it.
Let’s see how it is done with:

Let's look at   1986 ÷ 15 Bring the 6 down next to the 3.

 We start by setting out the calculation as usual, like Now we divide 36 ÷ 15 = 2 rem 6.
this, and then start dividing. (Remember that 2 × 15 = 30 and so the remainder is
  39 - 30 = 9. 
 
First we divide 19 ÷ 15 = 1 rem 4.
(Remember that 1 × 15 = 15 and so the remainder is
19 - 15 = 4.) 

The final remainder is 6, but we want to write this as

  a fraction. 
Bring the 8 down next to the 4. We are dividing by 15, so a remainder of 6 is
Then we divide 48 ÷ 15 = 3 rem 3. actually the fraction 6/15. 
(Remember that 3 × 15 = 45 and so the remainder is 6
48 - 45 = 3.) 15
  To reduce this fraction to its lowest terms, we look
for the highest number that goes into 6 and 15.
This will be 3, because 2 × 3 = 6 and 5 × 3 = 15.
So we divide the top and the bottom numbers by the
magic number 3, to get 2 and 5. 
6 2

Facts about Division

1. If the dividend is ‘zero’ then any number as a divisor will give the quotient as ‘zero’. 
2. If the divisor is ‘1’ then any dividend will have the quotient equal to itself. 
3. The product of the divisor and the quotient added to the remainder is always equal to the dividend.
4. In a division sum the remainder is always smaller than the divisor.
5. Every divisor fact has two multiplication facts to verify it.
6. The quotient and the divisor are always the factors of the dividend, if there is no remainder.
7. The dividend is always a multiple of the quotient and divisor, if there is no remainder.

Dividing a Polynomial by a Binomial (Long Division)

Here are the steps required for Dividing a Polynomial by a Binomial (Long Division):

Step 1: Make sure the polynomial is written in descending order. If any terms are missing, use a zero to fill in the
missing term (this will help with the spacing).
Step 2: Divide the term with the highest power inside the division symbol by the term with the highest power outside the
division symbol.
Step 3: Multiply (or distribute) the answer obtained in the previous step by the polynomial in front of the division symbol.
Step 4: Subtract and bring down the next term.
Step 5: Repeat Steps 2, 3, and 4 until there are no more terms to bring down.
Step 6: Write the final answer. The term remaining after the last subtract step is the remainder and must be written as a
fraction in the final answer.

Example 1: Divide: 

Step 1: Make sure the polynomial is written in descending order. If any terms are missing,
use a zero to fill in the missing term (this will help with the spacing). In this case, the
problem is ready as is.

Step 2: Divide the term with the highest power inside the division symbol by the term with
the highest power outside the division symbol. In this case, we have x 3 divided by x which
is x2.

Step 3: Multiply (or distribute) the answer obtained in the previous step by the polynomial
in front of the division symbol. In this case, we need to multiply x 2 and x + 2.

Step 4: Subtract and bring down the next term.

2
 Step 5: Divide the term with the highest power inside the division symbol by the term with
the highest power outside the division symbol. In this case, we have –6x 2 divided by x
which is –6x.

Step 6: Multiply (or distribute) the answer obtained in the previous step by the polynomial
in front of the division symbol. In this case, we need to multiply –6x and x + 2.

Step 7: Subtract and bring down the next term.

Step 8: Divide the term with the highest power inside the division symbol by the term with
the highest power outside the division symbol. In this case, we have 14x divided by x
which is +14.

Step 9: Multiply (or distribute) the answer obtained in the previous step by the polynomial
in front of the division symbol. In this case, we need to multiply 14 and x + 2.

Step 10: Subtract and notice there are no more terms to bring down.

Step 11: Write the final answer. The term remaining after the last subtract step is the
remainder and must be written as a fraction in the final answer.

Example2: Divide: 

Step 1: Make sure the polynomial is written in descending order. If any terms are missing, use
a zero to fill in the missing term (this will help with the spacing). In this case, we should get:

Steps 2, 3, and 4: Divide the term with the highest power inside the division symbol by the
term with the highest power outside the division symbol. Next multiply (or distribute) the
answer obtained in the previous step by the polynomial in front of the division symbol. In this
case, we should get 2x3/2x = x2 and x2(2x + 3). Finally, subtract and bring down the next term.

Steps 5, 6, and 7: Divide the term with the highest power inside the division symbol by the
term with the highest power outside the division symbol. Next multiply (or distribute) the
answer obtained in the previous step by the polynomial in front of the division symbol. In this
case, we should get 4x2/2x = 2x and 2x(2x + 3). Finally, subtract and bring down the next term.

Steps 8, 9, and 10: Divide the term with the highest power inside the division symbol by the
term with the highest power outside the division symbol. Next multiply (or distribute) the
answer obtained in the previous step by the polynomial in front of the division symbol. In this
case, we should get –4x/2x = –2 and –2(2x + 3). Finally, subtract and notice there are no more

terms to bring down.

Step 11: Write the final answer. The term remaining after the last subtract step is the
remainder and must be written as a fraction in the final answer.

Now it’s your turn. Divide

Dividing a Polynomial by a Polynomial (Long Division)

Example 1: Divide: 

Step 1: Make sure the polynomial is written in descending order. If any terms
are missing, use a zero to fill in the missing term (this will help with the spacing).
In this case, the problem is ready as is.

Steps 2, 3, and 4: Divide the term with the highest power inside the division
symbol by the term with the highest power outside the division symbol. Next
multiply (or distribute) the answer obtained in the previous step by the
polynomial in front of the division symbol. In this case, we should get x 3/x2 = x
and x(x2 + x – 6). Finally, subtract and bring down the next term.

Steps 5, 6, and 7: Divide the term with the highest power inside the division
symbol by the term with the highest power outside the division symbol. Next
multiply (or distribute) the answer obtained in the previous step by the
polynomial in front of the division symbol. In this case, we should get 2x 2/x2 = 2
and 2(x2 + x – 6). Finally, subtract and notice there are no more terms to bring
down.

Step 8: Write the final answer. The term remaining after the last subtract step is
the remainder and must be written as a fraction in the final answer. In this case,
there is no remainder, so you do not need to write the fraction.
Example 2: Divide: 

Step 1: Make sure the polynomial is written in descending order. If any terms
are missing, use a zero to fill in the missing term (this will help with the
spacing). In this case, we should get:

4
Step 2: Divide the term with the highest power inside the division symbol by
the term with the highest power outside the division symbol. In this case, we
have 4x3 divided by x2 which is 4x.

Step 3: Multiply (or distribute) the answer obtained in the previous step by
the polynomial in front of the division symbol. In this case, we need to
multiply 4x and x2 + 3x – 2.

Step 4: Subtract and bring down the next term.

Step 5: Divide the term with the highest power inside the division symbol by
the term with the highest power outside the division symbol. In this case, we
have –25x2 divided by x2 which is –25.

Step 6: Multiply (or distribute) the answer obtained in the previous step by
the polynomial in front of the division symbol. In this case, we need to
multiply –25 and x2 + 3x – 2.

Step 7: Subtract and notice there are no more terms to bring down.

Step 8: Write the final answer. The term remaining after the last subtract
step is the remainder and must be written as a fraction in the final answer.

2 x 3−4 x +7 x2 +7 −8 x +10
Now it’s your turn. Divide 2 . You answer should be 2 x+3+ 2 . If your answer is correct you
x +2 x−1 x +2 x−1
may proceed to the next example but if your answer is not correct go back to the example and try all over again.

Example 3: Divide: 

Step 1: Make sure the polynomial is written in descending order. If any terms are
missing, use a zero to fill in the missing term (this will help with the spacing). In
this case, we should get:
Step 2: Divide the term with the highest power inside the division symbol by the
term with the highest power outside the division symbol. In this case, we have
3x3 divided by x2 which is x2.

Step 3: Multiply (or distribute) the answer obtained in the previous step by the
polynomial in front of the division symbol. In this case, we need to multiply 3x and
x2 - 3x + 2.

Step 4: Subtract and bring down the next term.

Step 5: Divide the term with the highest power inside the division symbol by the
term with the highest power outside the division symbol. In this case, we have
9x2 divided by x2 which is 9.

Step 6: Multiply (or distribute) the answer obtained in the previous step by the
polynomial in front of the division symbol. In this case, we need to multiply 9 and
x2 - 3x+ 2.

As we’ve seen, long division with polynomials can involve many steps and be quite cumbersome. Synthetic division is a
shorthand method of dividing polynomials for the special case of dividing by a linear factor whose leading coefficient is
Here are the steps required for Synthetic Division of a Polynomial:

Step 1 : To set up the problem, first, set the denominator equal to zero to find the number to put in the division box. Next,
make sure the numerator is written in descending order and if any terms are missing you must use a zero to fill
in the missing term, finally list only the coefficient in the division problem.
Step 2 : Once the problem is set up correctly, bring the leading coefficient (first number) straight down.
Step 3 : Multiply the number in the division box with the number you brought down and put the result in the next column.
Step 4 : Add the two numbers together and write the result in the bottom of the row.
Step 5 : Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you reach the end of the problem.
Step 6 : Write the final answer. The final answer is made up of the numbers in the bottom row with the last number being
the remainder and the remainder must be written as a fraction. The variables or x’s start off one power less than
the original denominator and go down one with each term.
