2. Polynomial long division - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_long_division

   If one root r of a polynomial P(x) of degree n is known then polynomial long division can be used to factor P(x) into the form (x − r)Q(x) where Q(x) is a polynomial of degree n − 1. Q(x) is simply the quotient obtained from the division process; since r is known to be a root of P(x), it is known that the remainder must be zero.

3. Quotition and partition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotition_and_partition

   Thought of quotitively, a division problem can be solved by repeatedly subtracting groups of the size of the divisor. [1] For instance, suppose each egg carton fits 12 eggs, and the problem is to find how many cartons are needed to fit 36 eggs in total. Groups of 12 eggs at a time can be separated from the main pile until none are left, 3 groups:

4. Division algorithm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_algorithm

   Long division is the standard algorithm used for pen-and-paper division of multi-digit numbers expressed in decimal notation. It shifts gradually from the left to the right end of the dividend, subtracting the largest possible multiple of the divisor (at the digit level) at each stage; the multiples then become the digits of the quotient, and the final difference is then the remainder.

5. Ruffini's rule - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruffini's_rule

   Ruffini's rule can be used when one needs the quotient of a polynomial P by a binomial of the form . (When one needs only the remainder, the polynomial remainder theorem provides a simpler method.) A typical example, where one needs the quotient, is the factorization of a polynomial p ( x ) {\displaystyle p(x)} for which one knows a root r :

6. Synthetic division - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_division

   Animation showing the use of synthetic division to find the quotient of + + + by .Note that there is no term in , so the fourth column from the right contains a zero.. In algebra, synthetic division is a method for manually performing Euclidean division of polynomials, with less writing and fewer calculations than long division.

7. Polynomial remainder theorem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_remainder_theorem

   Thus, the function may be more "cheaply" evaluated using synthetic division and the polynomial remainder theorem. The factor theorem is another application of the remainder theorem: if the remainder is zero, then the linear divisor is a factor. Repeated application of the factor theorem may be used to factorize the polynomial. [3]

8. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_(mathematics)

   The division with remainder or Euclidean division of two natural numbers provides an integer quotient, which is the number of times the second number is completely contained in the first number, and a remainder, which is the part of the first number that remains, when in the course of computing the quotient, no further full chunk of the size of ...

9. Quotient - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotient

   It has two definitions: either the integer part of a division (in the case of Euclidean division) [2] or a fraction or ratio (in the case of a general division). For example, when dividing 20 (the dividend ) by 3 (the divisor ), the quotient is 6 (with a remainder of 2) in the first sense and 6 2 3 = 6.66... {\displaystyle 6{\tfrac {2}{3}}=6.66 ...
