You know you are done when you have no more terms to bring down from the denominator. This is like integer division where you get a quotient and a remainder. The remainder is always a polynomial of degree one less than the divisor. Since you are working with a quadratic divisor, you should end up, assuming there is a remainder at all, with a linear remainder.
