______________________________
(x - 1)|( 2x^3 - 5x^2 + 7x - 1)
(1) ~~~~ _2__-5____7___-1
....
_(1)_|___(2)___(-5)___(7)___(-1)___
__1__*__(2)___(-3)___(4)___(3)____
1 * 2 = 2 + (- 5) = -3 .... -3 * 1 = -3 + 7 = 4 .... 4 * 1 = 4 + (- 1) = 3

(2x^3-5x^2+7x-1)/(x-1)..............put x-1=0...x=1
1|...2...............-5............7.............-1
.....0................2............-3.............4
------------------------------------------------------
.....2................-3...........4..............3
hence...remainder =3...and....
quotient is.....2x^2-3x+4
