Dividing a Polynomial by a Binomial Using Long Division

To divide a polynomial by a binomial, we follow a step-by-step procedure very similar to the long division of numbers. Just as we divide, multiply, subtract, and bring down digits when dividing a multi-digit number (e.g., 875÷25875 \div 25), we apply this same sequence of steps to the terms of the polynomials.
