    divide a polynomial p (x) by (x-3). Add and subtract the multiple of (x-3) that has the same highest-power term as p (x), then simplify to get a smaller-degree polynomial r (x) plus multiple of (x-3).

    The multiple of (x-3) that has x^4 as its leading term is x^3 (x-3) = x^4 - 3x^3. So write:

    x^4 + 7 = x^4 + 7 + x^3 (x - 3) - x^3 (x - 3)

    = x^4 + 7 + x^3 (x - 3) - x^4 + 3x^3

    = x^3 (x - 3) + 3x^3 + 7

    That makes r (x) = 3x^3 + 7. Do the same thing to reduce r (x) by adding/subtracting 3x^2 (x - 3) = 3x^3 - 9x^2:

    = x^3 (x - 3) + 3x^3 + 7 + 3x^2 (x - 3) - (3x^3 - 9x^2)

    = x^3 (x - 3) + 3x^2 (x - 3) + 9x^2 + 7

    Again to reduce 9x^2 + 7:

    = x^3 (x - 3) + 3x^2 (x - 3) + 9x^2 + 7 + 9x (x - 3) - (9x^2 - 27x)

    = x^3 (x - 3) + 3x^2 (x - 3) + 9x (x - 3) + 27x + 7

    And finally write 27x + 7 as 27 (x - 3) + 88;

    x^4 + 7 = x^3 (x - 3) + 3x^2 (x - 3) + 9x (x - 3) + 27 (x - 3) + 88

    Factor out (x - 3) in all but the + 88 term:

    x^4 + 7 = (x - 3) (x^3 + 3x^2 + 9x + 27) + 88

    That means that:

    (x^4 + 7) / (x - 3) = x^3 + 3x^2 + 9x + 27 with a remainder of 88
