Question 1142332: Please help me prove this polynomial theorem: "If P (x) is divided by Q (x), and Q (x) is divided by P (x) then Q (x) = cP (x), where c is a non-0 number."
Answer by Edwin McCravy(20060) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I think you meant this
"If P(x) is divided by Q(x) WITH REMAINDER 0, and Q (x) is divided by P(x)
ALSO WITH REMAINDER 0, then Q(x) = c*P(x), where c is a non-0 number."

If so, then re-post your problem that way.
