Divide (4n-4)/(6n-20)

$\frac{4 n - 4}{6 n - 20}$

Step 1

Set up the polynomials to be divided. If there is not a term for every exponent, insert one with a value of $0$ .

$6 n$

$20$

$4 n$

$4$

Step 2

Divide the highest order term in the dividend $4 n$ by the highest order term in divisor $6 n$ .

					$\frac{2}{3}$
	$6 n$	-	$20$		$4 n$	-	$4$

Step 3

Multiply the new quotient term by the divisor.

Step 4

The expression needs to be subtracted from the dividend, so change all the signs in $4 n - \frac{40}{3}$

Step 5

After changing the signs, add the last dividend from the multiplied polynomial to find the new dividend.

Step 6

The final answer is the quotient plus the remainder over the divisor.

$\frac{2}{3} + \frac{28}{3 (6 n - 20)}$
