The expression is
.
Rewrite the expression in long division form
.
Divide the first term of the dividend by the first term of the divisor
.
So,the first term of the quotient is b. Multiply
by b and subtract.

Divide the first term of the last row by first term of the divisor
.

by 2 and subtract.

The remainder is the last entry in the last row. There fore,
.
The number along the bottom row are the coefficients of the quotient.
\The result of the division is
