(x^2 - 7x - 12) ÷ (x + 2) = (x-9) remainder 6
(x^3 + x^2 – 3x + 1) ÷ (x – 1) = (x^2+2x-1) remainder 0
(3x^3 + 5x^2 – 3x – 5) ÷ (x + 1) = 3x^2+2x-5 remainder 0
(x^4 - 3x^3 + 3x + 2) ÷ (x - 2) = x^3-x^2-2x-1 remainder 0
(x^3 + x^2 – 3x + 1) ÷ (x – 1) = (x^2+2x-1) remainder 0
(3x^3 + 5x^2 – 3x – 5) ÷ (x + 1) = 3x^2+2x-5 remainder 0
(x^4 - 3x^3 + 3x + 2) ÷ (x - 2) = x^3-x^2-2x-1 remainder 0
