Find the Remainder (6x^2+37x+31)÷(x+5)
Step 1
To calculate the remainder, first divide the polynomials.
Tap for more steps...
Step 1.1
Set up the polynomials to be divided. If there is not a term for every exponent, insert one with a value of .
+++
Step 1.2
Divide the highest order term in the dividend by the highest order term in divisor .
+++
Step 1.3
Multiply the new quotient term by the divisor.
+++
++
Step 1.4
The expression needs to be subtracted from the dividend, so change all the signs in
+++
--
Step 1.5
After changing the signs, add the last dividend from the multiplied polynomial to find the new dividend.
+++

Step 1.6
Pull the next terms from the original dividend down into the current dividend.

Step 1.11
The final answer is the quotient plus the remainder over the divisor.
Step 2
Since the last term in the resulting expression is a fraction, the numerator of the fraction is the remainder.
