Introduction to Dividing Polynomials

What you’ll learn to do: Divide polynomials

In this section, we will focus specifically on dividing polynomials.  We will start by dividing monomials by monomials and progress through dividing polynomials by binomials.

Specifically, you will learn how to:

  • Divide Monomials
  • Divide polynomials by monomials
  • Divide polynomials by binomials
  • Divide polynomials by binomials using synthetic division.
