Finding the Quotient
Apply synthetic division to find the quotient and remainder when is divided by . Write the coefficients of the dividend in the first row: , , , and . The divisor is , so place in the divisor box. Bring down the first coefficient, , to the third row. Multiply by to get , and place it in the second row under the second coefficient . Add the column () to get in the third row. Multiply by to get , placing it under . Add the column () to get . Multiply by to get , placing it under the final coefficient . Add the column () to get . The third row numbers are , , , and . The first three numbers give the quotient , and the final number is the remainder.
