If you divide 4x^2 + 0x + 15 by 4x + 15:

- Leading term: 4x^2 ÷ 4x = x.
- Multiply: x(4x+15) = 4x^2 + 15x. Subtract: (4x^2+0x+15) − (4x^2+15x) = −15x + 15.
- Next term: (−15x) ÷ (4x) = −15/4.
- Multiply: (−15/4)(4x+15) = −15x − 225/4. Subtract: (−15x+15) − (−15x−225/4) = 285/4 (remainder).

Quotient = x − 15/4, remainder = 285/4.

So
(4x^2 + 15) ÷ (4x + 15) = x − 15/4 + (285/4)/(4x+15) = x − 15/4 + 285/(4(4x+15)).
