by

Step 1
Write the problem as a mathematical expression.

Step 2
Set up the polynomials to be divided. If there is not a term for every exponent, insert one with a value of .
---+-

Step 3
Divide the highest order term in the dividend by the highest order term in divisor .
---+-

Step 4
Multiply the new quotient term by the divisor.
---+-
+-

Step 5
The expression needs to be subtracted from the dividend, so change all the signs in
---+-
-+

Step 6
After changing the signs, add the last dividend from the multiplied polynomial to find the new dividend.
---+-
-+

Step 7
Pull the next term from the original dividend down into the current dividend.
