Question

Find the quotient

6s^7p^8-6s^5p^6+27s^3p^4
_________________________
3s^3p


Please help, I am lost on this process

Answer 1

just divide each term, then add them up:

6s^7p^8/3s^3p = 6/3 s^7/s^3 p^8/p = 2s^4p^7
6s^5p^6/3s^3p = 2s^2p^5
27s^3p^4/2s^3p = 9p^3

So, the final sum is

2s^4p^7 - 2s^2p^5 + 9p^3
