3x^3+6x-6 divided by 3x+3

Dividend and divisor both have a factor of 3, so this is a numerator and denominator 3%2F3 meaning 1.

Your division of polynomials will be same as x^3+2x-2 divided by x+1. 
       
           x^2     -x        3
      ________________________________________
x+1   |    x^3     0x^2      2x     -2
      |
      |   x^3      x^2
      -----------------
            0     -x^2       2x  
                  -x^2       -x
                -----------------
                  0         3x    -2  
                            3x     3
                           ----------
                             0    -5 (remainder)
