           x^2 + 4x + 14
         __________________________________
x^2-x-12 | x^4 + 3x^3 -  2x^2 +  0x +   1
      -   (x^4 -  x^3 - 12x^2)
          --------------------
                 4x^3 + 10x^2
             -  (4x^3 -  4x^2 - 48x)
                --------------------
                        14x^2 + 48x +   1
                     - (14x^2 - 14x - 168)
                       -------------------
                                62x + 169
