We concern ourselves only with the coefficients.

Divisor in synthetic division. Drop down all the constants and make a setup as. Write the coefficients of the polynomial to be divided at the top. To perform polynomial synthetic division, here are the steps:

Use synthetic division to divide. The synthetic long division calculator multiplies the obtained value by the zero of the denominators, and put the outcome into the next column. This video shows how to use synthetic division when the divisor (denominator) is not a linear polynomial.

2 x5 + 3 x4 + 25 x2 − 1 by x + 3. This method generalizes to division by any monic polynomial with only a slight modification with changes in bold. Only numeric coefficients of the dividend are used when dividing with synthetic division.

To divide a polynomial by a divisor of the form using synthetic division: Negate the coefficients of the divisor. Let the divisor be and dividend be.

Using the same steps as before, perform the following division: Before finishing this post, isn’t it great if we can implement this. It has fewer steps to arrive at the answer as compared to the polynomial long.

For synthetic division method, the divisor of the polynomial should be degree 1 meaning it should be a linear factor. This example demonstrates it with a degree three o. Here for the long division of algebra.
