Division Command

Division( <Dividend Number>, <Divisor Number> )

Gives the quotient (integer part of the result) and the remainder of the division of the two numbers.

Division(16, 3) yields {5, 1}.

Division( <Dividend Polynomial>, <Divisor Polynomial> )

Gives the quotient and the remainder of the division of the two polynomials.

Division(x^2 + 3 x + 1, x - 1) yields {x + 4, 5}.

In the Algebra View only one variable can be used and it will always be renamed to x. In the CAS View multivariable division is also supported.

  • Division(x^2+y^2, x+y) yields {x - y, 2y^2}.

  • Division(x^2+y^2, y+x) yields {y - x, 2x^2}.
