You can put this solution on YOUR website!
ok... long division:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "in dividing 2345 by 18, you consider how many 18's go into \"2\"-000: Answer none.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now, we extend to think of as \"23\"-00
\n" ); document.write( "--> 18's in 23? answer 1 with 5 left over.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, now how many 18's go into 545.
\n" ); document.write( "--> How many 18's into 5? Answer: zero\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now we extend again
\n" ); document.write( "--> how many 18's into 54? answer 3 with no remainder.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "And the final 5? that is the final remainder.
\n" ); document.write( "--> Complete Answer is 103 and 5/18\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We do the exact same process with algebraic expressions.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"+%288x%5E3+-+6x%5E2+%2B+2x%29%2F%284x+-+1%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"+%284x+-+1%29%7C%288x%5E3+-+6x%5E2+%2B+2x%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "How many 4x's go into \"8x%5E3\"? Answer is \"2x%5E2\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%5E2+%2A+%284x-1%29\" is \"%288x%5E3-2x%5E2%29\" so subtract that from the original, leaving us with \"%28-4x%5E2%2B2x%29\" --> call this the \"new original\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now repeat the process...
\n" ); document.write( "How many times does 4x go into \"%28-4x%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Answer is -x.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, \"%28-x%29%2A%284x-1%29\" is \"-4x%5E2%2Bx\". Now subtract that from the \"new original\", leaving us with x --> call this the \"new original\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now repeat the process again...
\n" ); document.write( "How many times does 4x go into x
\n" ); document.write( "Answer is (1/4).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So \"%281%2F4%29%2A%284x-1%29\" is \"x-%281%2F4%29\". Now subtract this from the \"new original\", leaving us with (1/4).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This is the end.
\n" ); document.write( "Answer to \"+%288x%5E3+-+6x%5E2+%2B+2x%29%2F%284x+-+1%29\" is \"2x%5E2-x%2B%281%2F4%29\" with remainder (1/4).\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The secret is to put the working out under itself, in neat columns, so you can see it all. I cannot do that here :-( However, this website \r
