2. Synthetic division - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_division

   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 method can be generalized to division by any polynomial .

3. Ruffini's rule - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruffini's_rule

   In mathematics, Ruffini's rule is a method for computation of the Euclidean division of a polynomial by a binomial of the form x – r. It was described by Paolo Ruffini in 1809. [1] The rule is a special case of synthetic division in which the divisor is a linear factor.

4. 17-animal inheritance puzzle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/17-animal_inheritance_puzzle

   17 indivisible camels. The 17-animal inheritance puzzle is a mathematical puzzle involving unequal but fair allocation of indivisible goods, usually stated in terms of inheritance of a number of large animals (17 camels, 17 horses, 17 elephants, etc.) which must be divided in some stated proportion among a number of beneficiaries.

5. Polynomial long division - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_long_division

   Blomqvist's method [1] is an abbreviated version of the long division above. This pen-and-paper method uses the same algorithm as polynomial long division, but mental calculation is used to determine remainders. This requires less writing, and can therefore be a faster method once mastered.

6. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

   If the divisor has a fractional part, one can restate the problem by moving the decimal to the right in both numbers until the divisor has no fraction, which can make the problem easier to solve (e.g., 10/2.5 = 100/25 = 4). Division can be calculated with an abacus. [14] Logarithm tables can be used to divide two numbers, by subtracting the two ...

7. Partial fraction decomposition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_fraction_decomposition

   In algebra, the partial fraction decomposition or partial fraction expansion of a rational fraction (that is, a fraction such that the numerator and the denominator are both polynomials) is an operation that consists of expressing the fraction as a sum of a polynomial (possibly zero) and one or several fractions with a simpler denominator.
