Thread: How is dividing a polynomial by a binomial similar to or different from the long division you learned in eleme?

How is dividing a polynomial by a binomial similar to or different from the long division you learned in elementary school? Can understanding how to do one kind of division help you with understanding the other kind? What are some examples from real life in which you might use polynomial division?

the individual parts have to be 'multiplied' in the division

there is no 'carrying over'
