Divide using synthetic division $$ ( -20x+1 ) \div ( 0 ) $$

The synthetic division table is:

$$ \begin{array}{c|rr}0&-20&1\\& & \color{black}{0} \\ \hline &\color{blue}{-20}&\color{orangered}{1} \end{array} $$

The solution is:

$$ \frac{ -20x+1 }{ x } = \color{blue}{-20} ~+~ \frac{ \color{red}{ 1 } }{ x } $$

Step 1 : Write down the coefficients of the dividend into division table.Put the zero at the left.

$$ \begin{array}{c|rr}\color{blue}{0}&-20&1\\& & \\ \hline && \end{array} $$

Step 1 : Bring down the leading coefficient to the bottom row.

$$ \begin{array}{c|rr}0&\color{orangered}{ -20 }&1\\& & \\ \hline &\color{orangered}{-20}& \end{array} $$

Step 2 : Multiply by the number on the left, and carry the result into the next column: $ \color{blue}{ 0 } \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( -20 \right) } = \color{blue}{ 0 } $.

$$ \begin{array}{c|rr}\color{blue}{0}&-20&1\\& & \color{blue}{0} \\ \hline &\color{blue}{-20}& \end{array} $$

Step 3 : Add down last column: $ \color{orangered}{ 1 } + \color{orangered}{ 0 } = \color{orangered}{ 1 } $

$$ \begin{array}{c|rr}0&-20&\color{orangered}{ 1 }\\& & \color{orangered}{0} \\ \hline &\color{blue}{-20}&\color{orangered}{1} \end{array} $$

Bottom line represents the quotient $ \color{blue}{ -20 } $ with a remainder of $ \color{red}{ 1 } $.
