x2+9x+3
Step 1
Place the numbers representing the divisor and the dividend into a division-like configuration.
−3 | 1 | 0 | 9 |
Step 2
The first number in the dividend (1) is put into the first position of the result area (below the horizontal line).
−3 | 1 | 0 | 9 |
1 |
Step 3
Multiply the newest entry in the result (1) by the divisor (−3) and place the result of (−3) under the next term in the dividend (0).
−3 | 1 | 0 | 9 |
−3 | |||
1 |
Step 4
Add the product of the multiplication and the number from the dividend and put the result in the next position on the result line.
−3 | 1 | 0 | 9 |
−3 | |||
1 | −3 |
Step 5
Multiply the newest entry in the result (−3) by the divisor (−3) and place the result of (9) under the next term in the dividend (9).
−3 | 1 | 0 | 9 |
−3 | 9 | ||
1 | −3 |
Step 6
Add the product of the multiplication and the number from the dividend and put the result in the next position on the result line.
−3 | 1 | 0 | 9 |
−3 | 9 | ||
1 | −3 | 18 |
Step 7
All numbers except the last become the coefficients of the quotient polynomial. The last value in the result line is the remainder.
(1)x−3+18x+3
Step 8
Simplify the quotient polynomial.
x−3+18x+3
