%28v%5E2-16v%2B119%29%2F%28v-8%29

You try to look for a factorization of the numerator, but not immediately recognizing factorizations for 119, polynomial division or synthetic division seem better. 
            v      -8
       _______________________________
       |
v-8    |    v^2    -16v    119
       |
       |    v^2    -8v
         --------------
            0      -8v     119
                   -8v     -64
                   -------------
                    0     183

The complete quotient here is %28v-8%29%2B183%2F%28v-8%29.

That's not an equation.
I can tell, there's no equal sign.
