X TO THE SECOND POWER - X - 20
DIVIDED BY
X TO THE SECOND POWER - 14X +48
---------------------
%28x%5E2+-+x+-+20%29%2F%28x%5E2+-+14x+%2B+48%29
=%28%28x-5%29%2A%28x%2B4%29%29%2F%28%28x-6%29%2A%28x-8%29%29
There are no common factors, so it can't be reduced. Attempts to divide it will only result in a remainder that is at least as complex as the original trinomials.
