is divided by 
(usually with synthetic divition) is equal to the simplified value of 
Examples
Example 1
What is thé reminder in 
?

Using synthetic or long division we obtain the quotient 
. In this case the remainder is 
. However, we could've figured that out by evaluating 
. Remember, we want the divisor in the form of . 
so 
.
