13 reactions | Synthetic division is a quick method to divide a polynomial by a binomial of the form x - c. It’s like a shortcut for long division in algebra and works best when the divisor is linear. Here’s how it works: 1. Write down the coefficients of the polynomial. 2. Use the root of the divisor (for x - c, use c) to perform a series of multiplications and additions. 3. The result gives you the quotient and possibly a remainder.
