Find the Remainder 36x^3+60x^2-143x-242 ; x-2

Divide the higher order polynomial by the other polynomial in order to find the remainder.

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

Divide the highest order term in the dividend ${\displaystyle 36x^3}$ by the highest order term in divisor ${\displaystyle x}$.

Multiply the new quotient term by the divisor.

The expression needs to be subtracted from the dividend, so change all the signs in ${\displaystyle 36x^3-72x^2}$

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

Pull the next terms from the original dividend down into the current dividend.

Divide the highest order term in the dividend ${\displaystyle 132x^2}$ by the highest order term in divisor ${\displaystyle x}$.

Multiply the new quotient term by the divisor.

The expression needs to be subtracted from the dividend, so change all the signs in ${\displaystyle 132x^2-264x}$

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

Pull the next terms from the original dividend down into the current dividend.

Divide the highest order term in the dividend ${\displaystyle 121x}$ by the highest order term in divisor ${\displaystyle x}$.

Multiply the new quotient term by the divisor.

The expression needs to be subtracted from the dividend, so change all the signs in ${\displaystyle 121x-242}$

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

Since the remander is ${\displaystyle 0}$, the final answer is the quotient.
