document.write( "Use synthetic division.  In order for x - 2 to be a factor of the original polynomial,\r\n" );
document.write( "synthetic division with a divisor of 2 must have 0 as a remainder:\r\n" );

document.write( "2  |  3   -m       -6         8\r\n" );

document.write( "      3    6 - m    6 - 2m    0\r\n" );
