Dividing Polynomials Made Easy
When it comes to dividing a polynomial by another polynomial we have two ways to do it.
- Long division mehtod
- Factor method
In this post we will focus on long division method to divide one polynomial by another. Following are the basic concepts need to be known before we start to learn how to use long division to divide polynomials:
- Long division basic terminology
- Mom, Dad, Sister and Brother Rock (Meaning M means multiply, D means divide, S means subtract, B means bring down and R means repeat)
- Basic knowledge of division facts
- Types of polynomials and
- How to multiply a monomial with another polynomial.
I have given a brief summary of all the above in the page below;
Below are the three pages containing the solution to the polynomial division problems using the long division method:
Hope my little effort will help the kids around the world to understand the long division of polynomials. Next time we will explore factor method to divide polynomials.
