Division( <Dividend Number>, <Divisor Number> )
Gives the quotient (integer part of the result) and the remainder of the division of the two numbers.
Example:
Division(16, 3) yields {5, 1}.
Division( <Dividend Polynomial>, <Divisor Polynomial> )
Gives the quotient and the remainder of the division of the two polynomials.
Example:
Division(x^2 + 3 x + 1, x - 1) yields {x + 4, 5}.
Note: 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.
Examples:
  • Division(x^2+y^2, x+y) yields {x - y, 2y^2}.
  • Division(x^2+y^2, y+x) yields {y - x, 2x^2}.
