How Remainder Theorem Calculator Works?

The remainder theorem is stated as follows when a polynomial a(x) is divided by a linear polynomial b(x) (which is a polynomial of degree 1) whose zero is x = k, the remainder is given by r = a(k).

The general formula of the remainder theorem is Dividend = (Divisor × quotient) + remainder

p(x) = [(x - c) × q(x)] + r(x)

Let us understand this with the help of the following example.

Solved Examples on Remainder Theorem Calculator

Example 1:

Find the remainder when p(x) is 3x⁵ - x⁴ + x³ - 4x² + 2 is divided by q(x) is x - 1 and verify it using the remainder theorem calculator?

Solution:

Given: Dividend p(x) = 3x⁵ - x⁴ + x³ - 4x² + 2 and Divisor q(x) or linear factor = x - 1

To find the remainder, we will substitute the zero of q(x) into the polynomial p(x) to find the remainder r

Linear factor ,x - 1 = 0

x = 1

p(1) = 3(1)⁵ - (1)⁴ + (1)³ - 4(1)² + 2

= 3 - 1 + 1 - 4 + 2

= 1

Therefore, the remainder is 1

Example 2:

Find the remainder when p(x) is x⁵ - 2x⁴ - 3x³ + 2x² + 7 is divided by q(x) is x - 2 and verify it using the remainder theorem calculator?

Solution:

Given: Dividend p(x) = x⁵ - 2x⁴ - 3x³ + 2x² + 7 and Divisor q(x) or linear factor = x - 2

To find the remainder, we will substitute the zero of q(x) into the polynomial p(x) to find the remainder r

Linear factor ,x - 2 = 0

x = 2

p(1) = (2)⁵ - 2(2)⁴ - 3(2)³ + 2(2)² + 7

= 32 - 32 - 24 + 8 + 7

= -9

Therefore, the remainder is -9

Similarly, you can use the remainder theorem calculator and find the remainder for

• p(x) = x² + 2x + 5 and q(x) = x - 1
• p(x) = 3x³ - 2x² + 4x - 1 and q(x) = x + 5
