Rewrite the expression in long division for \"\".

\

Use division to rewrite the divisor so it has a first coefficient of 18.

\

Divide the numerator and denominator by 3.

\

\

Simplify the numerator and denominator.

\

Write the terms of the dividend so that the degrees of the terms are in descending order. Then write just the coefficients as shown below.

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

Bring down the first coefficient.

\

\"\"\"\"

\

Multiply the first coefficient by r: \"\".

\

Write the product under the second coefficient.

\

Then add the product and the second coefficient:  2 + 4 = 6.

\

\"\" \"\"

\

Multiply the sum 6, by r\"\" .

\

Write the product under the next coefficient.

\

Then add the product and last coefficient: 3 + 4 = 7

\

\"\"\"\"

\

The remainder is the last entry in the last row. Therefore, R = 7.

\

The numbers along the bottom row are the coefficients of the quotient.

\

Start with the power of y that is one less than the degree of the dividend.

\

Thus, the quotient is 6a + 6.
