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.
Divide the first term of the dividend by the highest term of the divisor (x 3 ÷ x = x 2). Place the result below the bar. x 3 has been divided leaving no remainder, and can therefore be marked as used by crossing it out. The result x 2 is then multiplied by the second term in the divisor −3 = −3x 2.
Note carefully which place-value column these digits are written into. The 3 in the quotient goes in the same column (ten-thousands place) as the 6 in the dividend 1260257, which is the same column as the last digit of 111. The 111 is then subtracted from the line above, ignoring all digits to the right: 3 37)1260257 111 15
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.
Sometimes this remainder is added to the quotient as a fractional part, so 10 / 3 is equal to 3 + 1 / 3 or 3.33..., but in the context of integer division, where numbers have no fractional part, the remainder is kept separately (or exceptionally, discarded or rounded). [5] When the remainder is kept as a fraction, it leads to a rational ...

The number q is called the quotient, while r is called the remainder. (For a proof of this result, see Euclidean division. For algorithms describing how to calculate the remainder, see division algorithm.) The remainder, as defined above, is called the least positive remainder or simply the remainder. [2]
