\n" ); document.write( " x-1|x^4 - 2 |x^3 + x^2 + x^1 + 1
\n" ); document.write( " x^4 - x^3
\n" ); document.write( " do subtraction
\n" ); document.write( " (changing the sign)
\n" ); document.write( " ____________
\n" ); document.write( " x^3 -2
\n" ); document.write( " x^3 - x^2
\n" ); document.write( " do subtraction
\n" ); document.write( " (changing the sign)
\n" ); document.write( " ____________
\n" ); document.write( " x^2 -2
\n" ); document.write( " x^2 -x
\n" ); document.write( "do subtraction
\n" ); document.write( " (changing the sign)
\n" ); document.write( " ____________
\n" ); document.write( " x -2
\n" ); document.write( " x -1
\n" ); document.write( " do subtraction
\n" ); document.write( " (changing the sign)
\n" ); document.write( " ____________
\n" ); document.write( " -1
\n" ); document.write( " so the quotient is x^3 +x^2+x+1 and remainder is -1 \n" ); document.write( "
