DIVISION ALGORITHM FOR POLYNOMIALS

If P( x ) and D( x ) are polynomials and D ( x ) ≠ 0 ,then there exist unique
polynomials Q( x ) and R( x ) such that
P ( x ) ÷ D ( x ) =Q ( x ) + R(x )/D ( x)
Or
P ( x )=Q ( x ) D(x)+ R (x)
Where, R(x ) is either 0 or of degree less than that of D( x )

To divide polynomial by another polynomial using long division:

Example: Divide (x ¿ ¿ 3+11 x 2−4 x−9)÷(x−2)¿

1. Arrange the terms in both the divisor and

the dividend in descending order

x 2. Divide the first term of the dividend by the
first term of the divisor to get the first
term to get the quotient.

3. Multiply the divisor by the first term of the

quotient and subtract and the product
- + from the dividend.

thus finding the second term of the
quotient.

5. Continue the process until the remainder

is zero or the remainder is of a lower
degree than the divisor.
