Polynomial division is actually quite similar to the method of long division that I was taught back in elementary school. Instead of simply using numbers as we did back then, there are variables to deal with as well. However, the process is effectively the same. We go through the problem term by term, just like in numerical long division.

What is polynomial division?

That means that you divide one polynomial by another polynomial. Basically, if you have polynomials "A" and "B", you look for a polynomial "C" and a remainder "R", such that: B x C + R = A ... such that the remainder has a lower degree than polynomial "B", the polynomial by which you are dividing. For example, if you divide by a polynomial of degree 3, the remainder must be of degree 2 or less.

One angle of polynomial is 144 degree.find no of sides of polynomial?

The sum of the exterior angles of a polygon is 360o. Dividing 360o by the size of the exterior angle gives the number of sides. If the interior angle is 144o, the exterior angle is 180o - 144o = 36o. Number of sides = 360o / 36o = 10 (a decagon).
