• Divide Polynomials
  

Examples, solutions, videos, and worksheets to help Grade 7 and Grade 8 students learn how to divide polynomials.

How to divide polynomials?

There are six sets of dividing polynomials worksheets.

• Divide Monomials
• Divide Polynomials by Monomials
• Divide Binomials by Binomials
• Divide Trinomials by Binomials
• Divide Polynomials by Binomials
• Divide Polynomials (no remainder)

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to divide polynomials using long division:

1. Write Down the Division: Write the division problem with the dividend (the polynomial being divided) inside the long division symbol and the divisor (the polynomial you’re dividing by) outside.
2. Divide the Leading Terms: Divide the leading term of the dividend by the leading term of the divisor. Write the result as the first term of the quotient.
3. Divide and Subtract: Divide the entire divisor by the first term of the quotient. Subtract the result from the dividend, and write the subtraction result below the line.
4. Bring Down: Bring down the next term from the dividend to the line.
5. Repeat: Repeat the process by dividing the new dividend term by the leading term of the divisor. Write the result as the next term of the quotient. Divide and subtract as before.
6. Continue: Continue this process until you have divided all the terms of the dividend. The final result is the quotient.
7. Remainder: If there’s a remainder after dividing all the terms, you can write it over the divisor as a fraction.
