Long Division Recap In the previous example: The dividend was 589 What is being divided The divisor was 3 What is dividing into the dividend The quotient was 196 The answer The remainder was 1 What’s left over Division formula: Dividend = divisor × quotient + remainder i.e. 589 = 3×196 + 1 Dividing Polynomials by Binomials Polynomials are algebraic expressions with many terms x3 + 2x2 – x + 5 x4 - 6x3 – 4x2 + 3x – 10 Binomials are algebraic expressions with two terms x – 7 2x + 1 We can divide a polynomial by a binomial using the same long division process we use for numbers Example 1
