Now set up the synthetic division table by placing the test zero in the upper left corner and placing the coefficients of the numerator to the right of the test zero.

Since the last column adds to 91, we have a remainder of 91. This means is not a factor of
Now lets look at the bottom row of coefficients:
The first 3 coefficients (2,10,27) form the quotient
and the last coefficient 91, is the remainder, which is placed over like this
