The polynomial remainder theorem may be used to evaluate () by calculating the remainder, . Although polynomial long division is more difficult than evaluating the function itself, synthetic division is computationally easier. Thus, the function may be more "cheaply" evaluated using synthetic division and the polynomial remainder theorem.
The Chinese remainder theorem is widely used for computing with large integers, as it allows replacing a computation for which one knows a bound on the size of the result by several similar computations on small integers. The Chinese remainder theorem (expressed in terms of congruences) is true over every principal ideal domain.

The rings for which such a theorem exists are called Euclidean domains, but in this generality, uniqueness of the quotient and remainder is not guaranteed. [8] Polynomial division leads to a result known as the polynomial remainder theorem: If a polynomial f(x) is divided by x − k, the remainder is the constant r = f(k). [9] [10]
In the above theorem, each of the four integers has a name of its own: a is called the dividend, b is called the divisor, q is called the quotient and r is called the remainder. The computation of the quotient and the remainder from the dividend and the divisor is called division, or in case of ambiguity, Euclidean division.
The Chinese remainder theorem appears as an exercise [16] in Sunzi Suanjing (between the third and fifth centuries). [17] (There is one important step glossed over in Sunzi's solution: [note 4] it is the problem that was later solved by Āryabhaṭa's Kuṭṭaka – see below.)
The quotient and remainder may be computed by any of several algorithms, including polynomial long division and synthetic division. [19] When the denominator b(x) is monic and linear, that is, b(x) = x − c for some constant c, then the polynomial remainder theorem asserts that the remainder of the division of a(x) by b(x) is the evaluation a ...
Firstly, their definition through determinants allows bounding, through Hadamard inequality, the size of the coefficients of the GCD. Secondly, this bound and the property of good specialization allow computing the GCD of two polynomials with integer coefficients through modular computation and Chinese remainder theorem (see below).
