Explanation:
One way of dividing is to use the divisor as a factor in the numerator.
consider the numerator
3x3(x−2)+6x3−4x2+8x−1
=3x3(x−2)+6x2(x−2)+12x2−4x2+8x−1
=3x3(x−2)+6x2(x−2)+8x(x−2)+16x+8x−1
=3x3(x−2)+6x2(x−2)+8x(x−2)+24(x−2)+48−1
=3x3(x−2)+6x2(x−2)+8x(x−2)+24(x−2)+47
⇒quotient =3x3+6x2+8x+24
remainder =47
