divide.
(18x^2 - 63x + 81) / 9
Think of your problem like this:

18x%5E2%2F9 = 2x%5E2

%28-63x%29%2F9 = -7x

81%2F9 = 9

So you have: %282x%5E2+-+7x+%2B+9%29

Now if you are strictly dividing, the above answer is fine. However, if you are dividing everything by 9 as a factoring problem, you have to write the problem this way: 9%282x%5E2+-+7x+%2B+9%29. <---This shows that you are factoring 9 out of the entire equation.


I hope this helps.
