I. Essential Ideas

Steps in Dividing a Polynomial by a Monomial

1. Divide each term of the polynomial by the monomial.

𝒂𝒎
2. Apply the law = 𝒂𝒎−𝒏 if m > n
𝒂𝒏

𝟏
or = 𝒂𝒏−𝒎 if n > m in dividing the same variable.

3. Simplify the results, if necessary.

Illustrative example:

𝟏𝟎𝒂𝟒 𝒃𝟑𝒄𝟐 − 𝟓𝒂𝟔 𝒃𝒄𝟓+ 𝟏𝟓𝒂𝒃𝟑𝒄𝟒

1. Divide .
𝟓𝒂𝟑 𝒃𝟐𝒄𝟓
Solution:
𝟏𝟎𝒂𝟒𝒃𝟑 𝒄𝟐 𝟓𝒂𝟔𝒃𝒄𝟓 𝟏𝟓𝒂𝒃𝟑𝒄𝟒
= − +
𝟓𝒂𝟑 𝒃𝟐𝒄𝟓 𝟓𝒂𝟑𝒃𝟐 𝒄𝟓 𝟓𝒂𝟑 𝒃𝟐𝒄𝟓

𝟏𝟎𝒂𝟒−𝟑𝒃𝟑−𝟐 𝒂𝟔−𝟑 𝟏𝟓𝒃𝟑−𝟐

= − +
𝟓𝒄𝟓−𝟐 𝒃𝟐−𝟏 𝟓𝒂𝟑−𝟏𝒄𝟓−𝟒

𝟐𝒂𝒃 𝒂𝟑 𝟑𝒃
= − + 𝒂𝟐𝒄
