Polynomial Long Division Use “0” coefficients to insert missing terms in DECREASING order of the variable Denominator of Remainder Whole Number Numerator of Remainder
Example: Step 1: Add missing terms to numerator (if necessary) Step 2: Rewrite as a division problem with the “house” Step 3: How many times does the first term in the divisor go into the first term of the dividend? Step 4: Repeat Step 2 until you can NOT multiply by anything to get the resulting terms.
