Question

I am a newbie at LaTex. I would like to know how to perform the following on native tex. Pls help me out. Thanks

Answer 1

If you are willing to use LaTeX-packages, you could have a look at the polynom-package.

Note that you can always locate the documentation using the command-line/terminal by writing texdoc polynom, and that works for any package. The documentation is also available at http://ctan.org/pkg/polynom

The following example is taken from a question I answered earlier, Using \polyremainder in polynom package

Output

Code

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{polynom}
\begin{document}
 \polyadd\polya { (X^2+X+1)(X-2) }{0}
    \polyadd\polyb { X-1 }{0}


Dividing \polyprint\polya{} by \polyprint\polyb.
\[\polylongdiv\polya\polyb\]

\polydiv\polyc{ (X^2+X+1)(X-2) }{ X-1 }
Remainder is: \polyprint{\polyremainder}
\end{document}
