Synthetic division is a shorthand method for dividing a polynomial by a linear factor (x − r). It is faster than long division and directly tests whether r is a root of the polynomial.

- 1Write coefficients in a row
- 2Drop first coefficient; multiply by root r
- 3Add to next coefficient; repeat
- 4Last value is remainder; others are quotient coefficients

ଇନପୁଟ୍
x³−6x²+11x−6 ÷ (x−1)
ଫଳ
Quotient: x²−5x+6, Remainder: 0 (so x=1 is a root)
ଇନପୁଟ୍
x³+2x−3 ÷ (x−1)
ଫଳ
Quotient: x²+x+3, Remainder: 0

When is synthetic division useful?
Quick division by linear factors, finding polynomial values via Remainder Theorem, and factoring.
Can synthetic division be used for non-linear divisors?
No, synthetic division only works for divisors of the form (x − c). Use long division otherwise.
What is the Remainder Theorem?
When P(x) is divided by (x − c), remainder = P(c).
