,
Step 1
Divide the first expression by the second expression.
Step 2
Set up the polynomials to be divided. If there is not a term for every exponent, insert one with a value of .
-++-
Step 3
Divide the highest order term in the dividend by the highest order term in divisor .
-++-
Step 4
Multiply the new quotient term by the divisor.
-++-
+-
Step 5
The expression needs to be subtracted from the dividend, so change all the signs in
-++-
-+
Step 6
After changing the signs, add the last dividend from the multiplied polynomial to find the new dividend.
-++-
-+
+
Step 7
Pull the next terms from the original dividend down into the current dividend.
-++-
-+
++
Step 8
Divide the highest order term in the dividend by the highest order term in divisor .
+
-++-

Step 9
Multiply the new quotient term by the divisor.
