Question 1047337
{{{(v^2-16v+119)/(v-8)}}}


You try to look for a factorization of the numerator, but not immediately recognizing factorizations for 119, polynomial division or synthetic division seem better.

<pre>
            v      -8
       _______________________________
       |
v-8    |    v^2    -16v    119
       |
       |    v^2    -8v
         --------------
            0      -8v     119
                   -8v     -64
                   -------------
                    0     183
