Explaining synthetic division is more difficult than actually performing it.

Here is a text-based arrangement

________-6______|________2_____-9______-16________12
________________|
________________|
__________________________________________________________

Follow the process, as example at least:

________-6______|________2_____-9______-16________12
________________|
________________|_____________-12______126______-660
__________________________________________________________
________________________2_____-21______110_______-648

The remainder ;
Negative 6 is not a root.
