Divide using synthetic division $$ ( x^{2}+14x+53 ) \div ( x+7 ) $$
Answer
The synthetic division table is:
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrr}-7&1&14&53\\& & -7& \color{black}{-49} \\ \hline &\color{blue}{1}&\color{blue}{7}&\color{orangered}{4} \end{array} $$The solution is:
$$ \frac{ x^{2}+14x+53 }{ x+7 } = \color{blue}{x+7} ~+~ \frac{ \color{red}{ 4 } }{ x+7 } $$Explanation
Step 1 : Write down the coefficients of the dividend into division table. Put the zero from $ x + 7 = 0 $ ( $ x = \color{blue}{ -7 } $ ) at the left.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrr}\color{blue}{-7}&1&14&53\\& & & \\ \hline &&& \end{array} $$Step 1 : Bring down the leading coefficient to the bottom row.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrr}-7&\color{orangered}{ 1 }&14&53\\& & & \\ \hline &\color{orangered}{1}&& \end{array} $$Step 2 : Multiply by the number on the left, and carry the result into the next column: $ \color{blue}{ -7 } \cdot \color{blue}{ 1 } = \color{blue}{ -7 } $.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrr}\color{blue}{-7}&1&14&53\\& & \color{blue}{-7} & \\ \hline &\color{blue}{1}&& \end{array} $$Step 3 : Add down last column: $ \color{orangered}{ 14 } + \color{orangered}{ \left( -7 \right) } = \color{orangered}{ 7 } $
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrr}-7&1&\color{orangered}{ 14 }&53\\& & \color{orangered}{-7} & \\ \hline &1&\color{orangered}{7}& \end{array} $$Step 4 : Multiply by the number on the left, and carry the result into the next column: $ \color{blue}{ -7 } \cdot \color{blue}{ 7 } = \color{blue}{ -49 } $.
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrr}\color{blue}{-7}&1&14&53\\& & -7& \color{blue}{-49} \\ \hline &1&\color{blue}{7}& \end{array} $$Step 5 : Add down last column: $ \color{orangered}{ 53 } + \color{orangered}{ \left( -49 \right) } = \color{orangered}{ 4 } $
$$ \begin{array}{c|rrr}-7&1&14&\color{orangered}{ 53 }\\& & -7& \color{orangered}{-49} \\ \hline &\color{blue}{1}&\color{blue}{7}&\color{orangered}{4} \end{array} $$Bottom line represents the quotient $ \color{blue}{ x+7 } $ with a remainder of $ \color{red}{ 4 } $.
