Finding the Quotient
Divide a binomial by a variable monomial: .
Step 1 — Rewrite as a fraction. Place the polynomial in the numerator and the monomial in the denominator: .
Step 2 — Divide each term of the numerator by the denominator. Split the fraction into two separate fractions: .
Step 3 — Simplify each fraction. For the first term: divide the coefficients and apply the Quotient Property for the variable , giving . For the second term: and , giving .
The quotient is . This example shows two additional steps compared to dividing by a constant: the division must first be rewritten as a fraction, and each simplified fraction involves dividing both the coefficient and the variable part — making each step a monomial-by-monomial division.
