Polynomial Division Calculator

Divide one polynomial by another using long division. Get the quotient and remainder.

Dividend (Numerator)

x^2

const

P(x) = x^2 - 3x + 2

Divisor (Denominator)

const

D(x) = x - 1

Result

Quotient Q(x):

x - 2

Remainder R(x):

Division Identity:

P(x) = D(x) × Q(x) + R(x)

x^2 - 3x + 2 = (x - 1) × (x - 2) + (0)

Polynomial Long Division

This calculator uses polynomial long division to find the quotient Q(x) and remainder R(x) such that P(x) = D(x) × Q(x) + R(x), where P(x) is the dividend and D(x) is the divisor.

The degree of the remainder is always less than the degree of the divisor.
