Explanation:
one way is to use the divisor as a factor in the numerator
consider the numerator
4x3(x+4)−16x3−5x2−2x+24
=4x3(x+4)−16x2(x+4)+64x2−5x2−2x+24
=4x3(x+4)−16x2(x+4)+59x(x+4)−236x−2x+24
=4x3(x+4)−16x2(x+4)+59x(x+4)
=−238(x+4)+952+24
quotient =4x3−16x2+59x−238
remainder =976
⇒4x4−5x2−2x+24x+4
=4x3−16x2+59x−238+976x+4
