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.
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.
multiply means multying it or increasing dividing means decreasing
in dividing decimals you never get a remainder and in dividing whole numbers you do. +++ More to the point perhaps, you are working in powers of 10 all the time.
5 x 0.2 = 25 Or to put it a different way 25 / 0.2 = 5 Dividing something by a number greater than 1 gives you a smaller number Dividing something by 1 gives the same number Dividing something a number smaller than 1 gives you a larger number
No, taking ½ of a number is the same as dividing it by 2. Dividing a number by ½ is the same as multiplying it by 2.
Your dividing with variables now.
factor
A binomial and possibly a fraction.

Dividing by decimal is different from dividing by whole number as you have to multiply by a number to remove the decimal.
True-APEX
I can solve this question . But i think it is better to hold on . I want to register my finding with my name.
Yes, if there is no remainder after division, the divisor is a factor.
Dividing all terms by 4 gives: x2-x-30 = (x-6)(x+5) when factored

True.
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).
