Polynomial Division 
Polynomial division works like ordinary division with remainder. 
For example; 14 ÷ 4 can be written out as follows: 
14 = 3 × 4 + 2 
The idea is to “take out” as many 4s as we can until its no longer possible. 
Here is the calculation written out fully: 
14 = 1 × 4 + 10 
10 = 1 × 4 + 6 
6 = 1 × 4 + 2 
4 can be taken out 3 times. 
Each time we take out a 4, check the remainder 
to see if another 4 can be taken out. 
2 is the final remainder since 
there are no more 4s to pull out. 
14 = 3 × 4 + 2 
Polynomial division works in exactly this way. 
Before going through a full example, we’ll see how to take one polynomial out of another.
The following are all examples of polynomials: 
푃1 푥 = 3푥7 − 5푥4 + 3푥3 − 5푥2 + 푥 − 9 
푃2 푥 = 6푥3 − 8푥2 + 푥 − 9 
푃3 푥 = 푥10 
푃4 푥 = 2푥2 − 푥 + 4 
The degree of the polynomial is the 
highest power of 푥 in the polynomial: 
deg 푃1 푥 = 7 
deg 푃2 푥 = 3 
deg 푃3 푥 = 10 
deg 푃4 푥 = 2 
푃5 푥 = 24 deg 푃5 푥 = 0 
Constants can be regarded as polynomials of degree 0. 
Linear functions are polynomials of degree 1. 
Quadratics are polynomials of degree 2. 
Cubics are polynomials of degree 3. 
The Leading Term of a polynomial is the term with the highest power of 푥 as highlighted above. 
With ordinary division with remainder, the number you divide by is smaller than the number 
you divide into. 
With polynomial division, the polynomial you divide by has smaller degree than the 
polynomial you divide into.
Polynomial division (see next page) is simply repeated use of the following simple trick: 
If 푃(푥) and 푄(푥) are two polynomials with deg 푄 푥 < deg 푃 푥 , then 
we can always write 푃(푥) as a multiple of 푄(푥) with a remainder: 
푃 푥 = 푚 푥 푄 푥 + 푟(푥) with 
deg 푟 푥 < deg 푃 푥 . 
Here’s an example to illustrate: 푃 푥 = 3푥3 + 2푥2 − 7푥 + 5 푄 푥 = 푥 + 3 
푚(푥) is simply what is needed so that the leading terms match on both sides: 
3푥3 + 2푥2 − 7푥 + 5 = 푚 푥 × 푥 + 3 + 푟(푥) 
3푥3 = 푚 푥 × 푥 ⇒ 푚 푥 = 3푥2 
3푥3 + 2푥2 − 7푥 + 5 = 3푥2 푥 + 3 + 푟(푥) 
r(푥) is simply the difference between 푃(푥) and 푚 푥 푄(푥) 
푟 푥 = 3푥3 + 2푥2 − 7푥 + 5 − 3푥2 푥 + 3 = −7푥2 − 7푥 + 5 
Finally: 
3푥3 + 2푥2 − 7푥 + 5 = 3푥2 푥 + 3 − 7푥2 − 7푥 + 5.
Example (Polynomial Division) (3푥3 + 2푥2 − 7푥 + 5) ÷ (푥 + 3) 
Write 3푥3 + 2푥2 − 7푥 + 5 as a multiple of 푥 + 3 with remainder 
3푥2 (푥 + 3) + 푟1 
Write 푟1 as a multiple of 푥 + 3 with remainder 
−7푥 (푥 + 3) + 푟2 
Write 푟2 as a multiple of 푥 + 3 with remainder 
+ 푟3 
14 (푥 + 3) 
3푥3 + 2푥2 − 7푥 + 5 = 
Subtract across to find the remainder: 
푟1 = 3푥3 + 2푥2 − 7푥 + 5 − 3푥2(푥 + 3) 
푟1 = −7푥2 − 7푥 + 5 
−7푥2 − 7푥 + 5 = 
푟2 = −7푥2 − 7푥 + 5 + 7푥(푥 + 3) 
푟2 = 14푥 + 5 
14푥 + 5 = 
푟3 = 14푥 + 5 − 14(푥 + 3) 
푟3 = −37 
We stop now since the degree of the remainder is less than the degree of the divisor. 
3푥3 + 2푥2 − 7푥 + 5 
We now put this all back together: 
= 3푥2 (푥 + 3) + 푟1 
= 3푥2 (푥 + 3)−7푥(푥 + 3) + 푟2 
= 3푥2 (푥 + 3) −7푥(푥 + 3) + 14(푥 + 3) + 푟3 
Finally, factorise out (푥 + 3) 
= 3푥2 푥 + 3 − 7푥 푥 + 3 + 14 푥 + 3 − 37 
= (푥 + 3) (3푥2 −7푥 + 14) − 37
Here’s the same calculation set out as a long division: 
3푥2 
− 7푥 
+ 14 
푥 + 3 3푥3 + 2푥2 − 7푥 + 5 
3푥3 + 9푥2 
−7푥2 − 7푥 + 5 
−7푥2 − 21푥 
14푥 + 5 
14푥 + 42 
−37 
3푥3 
푥 
3푥2 × (푥 + 3) 
−7푥 × (푥 + 3) 
−7푥2 
푥 
14푥 
푥 
14 × (푥 + 3)

3푥3 + 2푥2 − 7푥 + 5 = 3푥2 − 7푥 + 14 푥 + 3 − 37

Polynomial division

  • 1. Polynomial Division Polynomial division works like ordinary division with remainder. For example; 14 ÷ 4 can be written out as follows: 14 = 3 × 4 + 2 The idea is to “take out” as many 4s as we can until its no longer possible. Here is the calculation written out fully: 14 = 1 × 4 + 10 10 = 1 × 4 + 6 6 = 1 × 4 + 2 4 can be taken out 3 times. Each time we take out a 4, check the remainder to see if another 4 can be taken out. 2 is the final remainder since there are no more 4s to pull out. 14 = 3 × 4 + 2 Polynomial division works in exactly this way. Before going through a full example, we’ll see how to take one polynomial out of another.
  • 2. The following are all examples of polynomials: 푃1 푥 = 3푥7 − 5푥4 + 3푥3 − 5푥2 + 푥 − 9 푃2 푥 = 6푥3 − 8푥2 + 푥 − 9 푃3 푥 = 푥10 푃4 푥 = 2푥2 − 푥 + 4 The degree of the polynomial is the highest power of 푥 in the polynomial: deg 푃1 푥 = 7 deg 푃2 푥 = 3 deg 푃3 푥 = 10 deg 푃4 푥 = 2 푃5 푥 = 24 deg 푃5 푥 = 0 Constants can be regarded as polynomials of degree 0. Linear functions are polynomials of degree 1. Quadratics are polynomials of degree 2. Cubics are polynomials of degree 3. The Leading Term of a polynomial is the term with the highest power of 푥 as highlighted above. With ordinary division with remainder, the number you divide by is smaller than the number you divide into. With polynomial division, the polynomial you divide by has smaller degree than the polynomial you divide into.
  • 3. Polynomial division (see next page) is simply repeated use of the following simple trick: If 푃(푥) and 푄(푥) are two polynomials with deg 푄 푥 < deg 푃 푥 , then we can always write 푃(푥) as a multiple of 푄(푥) with a remainder: 푃 푥 = 푚 푥 푄 푥 + 푟(푥) with deg 푟 푥 < deg 푃 푥 . Here’s an example to illustrate: 푃 푥 = 3푥3 + 2푥2 − 7푥 + 5 푄 푥 = 푥 + 3 푚(푥) is simply what is needed so that the leading terms match on both sides: 3푥3 + 2푥2 − 7푥 + 5 = 푚 푥 × 푥 + 3 + 푟(푥) 3푥3 = 푚 푥 × 푥 ⇒ 푚 푥 = 3푥2 3푥3 + 2푥2 − 7푥 + 5 = 3푥2 푥 + 3 + 푟(푥) r(푥) is simply the difference between 푃(푥) and 푚 푥 푄(푥) 푟 푥 = 3푥3 + 2푥2 − 7푥 + 5 − 3푥2 푥 + 3 = −7푥2 − 7푥 + 5 Finally: 3푥3 + 2푥2 − 7푥 + 5 = 3푥2 푥 + 3 − 7푥2 − 7푥 + 5.
  • 4. Example (Polynomial Division) (3푥3 + 2푥2 − 7푥 + 5) ÷ (푥 + 3) Write 3푥3 + 2푥2 − 7푥 + 5 as a multiple of 푥 + 3 with remainder 3푥2 (푥 + 3) + 푟1 Write 푟1 as a multiple of 푥 + 3 with remainder −7푥 (푥 + 3) + 푟2 Write 푟2 as a multiple of 푥 + 3 with remainder + 푟3 14 (푥 + 3) 3푥3 + 2푥2 − 7푥 + 5 = Subtract across to find the remainder: 푟1 = 3푥3 + 2푥2 − 7푥 + 5 − 3푥2(푥 + 3) 푟1 = −7푥2 − 7푥 + 5 −7푥2 − 7푥 + 5 = 푟2 = −7푥2 − 7푥 + 5 + 7푥(푥 + 3) 푟2 = 14푥 + 5 14푥 + 5 = 푟3 = 14푥 + 5 − 14(푥 + 3) 푟3 = −37 We stop now since the degree of the remainder is less than the degree of the divisor. 3푥3 + 2푥2 − 7푥 + 5 We now put this all back together: = 3푥2 (푥 + 3) + 푟1 = 3푥2 (푥 + 3)−7푥(푥 + 3) + 푟2 = 3푥2 (푥 + 3) −7푥(푥 + 3) + 14(푥 + 3) + 푟3 Finally, factorise out (푥 + 3) = 3푥2 푥 + 3 − 7푥 푥 + 3 + 14 푥 + 3 − 37 = (푥 + 3) (3푥2 −7푥 + 14) − 37
  • 5. Here’s the same calculation set out as a long division: 3푥2 − 7푥 + 14 푥 + 3 3푥3 + 2푥2 − 7푥 + 5 3푥3 + 9푥2 −7푥2 − 7푥 + 5 −7푥2 − 21푥 14푥 + 5 14푥 + 42 −37 3푥3 푥 3푥2 × (푥 + 3) −7푥 × (푥 + 3) −7푥2 푥 14푥 푥 14 × (푥 + 3) subtract to find remainder subtract to find remainder subtract to find remainder 3푥3 + 2푥2 − 7푥 + 5 = 3푥2 − 7푥 + 14 푥 + 3 − 37
