Division Algorithm • This can be expressed as a product.
Division with Polynomials • The algorithm does not change. • How many times does the leading term of the divisor go into the leading term of the dividend? • Write it at the top in the correct slot. • Multiply the divisor • Subtract the result • Repeat until the degree of what remains is smaller than the divisor
Example • Divide by and use the result to factor the polynomial completely.
Example • Divide by
Example • Divide by
