You can put this solution on YOUR website!
t-1 | t^3-t^2 + t -1
How many times does t go into t^3? t^2.
(t-1)*t^2 = t^3 - t^2
t^3 - t^2 + t - 1
- t^3 - t^2 + t- 1
----------------------
0 0 t-1
How many times does t go into t? 1.
t-1 * 1 = t-1
t-1
-t-1
-----
0
Remainder : 0.
So it would be t%5E2+%2B1
