Polynomial long division
Divide polynomials the same way you do long division with numbers. Divide leading terms, multiply back, subtract, bring down.
Synthetic division
A shortcut when dividing by (x − c). Only uses coefficients. Much faster for linear divisors.
Remainder theorem
When dividing p(x) by (x − c), the remainder equals p(c). If p(c) = 0, then (x − c) is a factor.
