Long Division & Synthetic Division

This document discusses two methods for dividing polynomials: long division and synthetic division. Long division involves repeatedly dividing terms until reaching a quotient and remainder. If the remainder is zero, the divisor is a factor of the dividend. Synthetic division is a shortcut that involves arranging the dividend in descending order and performing the divisions with only the coefficients. The document provides examples of using both methods to determine whether a polynomial is a factor of another polynomial.

When dividing two polynomials,
the result is a quotient and
remainder. If the remainder is 0,
then the divisor is a factor of the
dividend.

Before dividing polynomials,
write the dividend in
