You wrote x^7-x^4+3x^2-12x+2/6x^5=

You most likely meant (x^7-x^4+3x^2-12x+2)/6x^5=

If you are expected to find a quotient polynomial and a remainder polynomial,
and
That is what is usually done with polynomials.

You can keep dividing the remainder, as in , but that is not usually done and ends up in ugly expressions:

You could write the final expression differently:
