[edit] Regarding edits of 8th November 06

Firstly, the general form for polynomial long division is:

\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}=q(x) + \frac{r(x)}{g(x)}

and not

\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}=q(x) + \frac{r}{g(x)}

Consequently, we need to explain how to get from r(x) to r in the second equation, which was already in place before the edits. I have now reverted this.

Secondly, "if the remainder is zero, then the linear divisor is a factor" is correct, and not "if the remainder is zero, then the linear factor is a divisor". Oli Filth 08:50, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
