You do this by long division. The only way to learn it
is to know the rules and practice. If you don't have
a good explanation in your textbook, I would google
"division polynomials" and take your pick.
The answer to your problem is x%5E4+-+x%5E3+%2B+x%5E2+-+x+%2B+1
Multiply it by x+%2B+1 and you should get x%5E5+%2B+1
