Polynomial Division

Polynomial division is a mathematical process used to divide one polynomial (a mathematical expression involving variables and coefficients) by another polynomial. It’s similar to long division with numbers. You break down the division step by step, determining how many times the divisor can fit into the leading term of the dividend, and then subtracting the result. This process is repeated until the degree of the remaining polynomial (the remainder) is less than that of the divisor. Polynomial division helps simplify complex expressions, find roots, and solve equations, making it an essential tool in algebra and higher mathematics.
