2. Long division - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_division

   Long division. In arithmetic, long division is a standard division algorithm suitable for dividing multi-digit Hindu-Arabic numerals (positional notation) that is simple enough to perform by hand. It breaks down a division problem into a series of easier steps. As in all division problems, one number, called the dividend, is divided by another ...

3. Polynomial remainder theorem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_remainder_theorem

   The polynomial remainder theorem follows from the theorem of Euclidean division, which, given two polynomials f(x) (the dividend) and g(x) (the divisor), asserts the existence (and the uniqueness) of a quotient Q(x) and a remainder R(x) such that. If the divisor is where r is a constant, then either R(x) = 0 or its degree is zero; in both cases ...

4. Synthetic division - Wikipedia

   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. It is mostly taught for division by linear monic polynomials (known as Ruffini's rule), but the ...

5. Polynomial long division - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_long_division

   Polynomial long division is an algorithm that implements the Euclidean division of polynomials, which starting from two polynomials A (the dividend) and B (the divisor) produces, if B is not zero, a quotient Q and a remainder R such that. and either R = 0 or the degree of R is lower than the degree of B. These conditions uniquely define Q and R ...

6. Remainder - Wikipedia

   and −2 is the least absolute remainder. In the division of 42 by 5, we have: 42 = 8 × 5 + 2, and since 2 < 5/2, 2 is both the least positive remainder and the least absolute remainder. In these examples, the (negative) least absolute remainder is obtained from the least positive remainder by subtracting 5, which is d. This holds in general.

7. 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.
