Division of Polynomials

A. Using Long Division


Here are the steps in Dividing a Polynomial using Long Division:
Step 1: Make sure the polynomial is written in descending order. If any terms are missing, use a zero to fill in the
missing term (this will help with the spacing).
Step 2: Divide the term with the highest power inside the division symbol by the term with the highest power
outside the division symbol.
Step 3: Multiply (or distribute) the answer obtained in the previous step by the polynomial in front of the
division symbol.
Step 4: Subtract and bring down the next term.
Step 5: Repeat Steps 2, 3, and 4 until there are no more terms to bring down.
Step 6: Write the final answer. The term remaining after the last subtract step is the remainder and must be
written as a fraction in the final answer.

ACTIVITY: Solve the following: (Write your answer on 1 whole sheet of paper. Show and organize your
solution. Box or encircle your final answer.)
1. (x3 + 7x2 + 15x + 14) ÷ (x + 3)
2. (5x3 + 3x - 8) ÷ (x - 1)
3. (2x4 + x3 - 9x2 - x + 6) ÷ (x + 2)
