Synthetic division compresses long division, but only after the setup is exact. Use the zero of the linear divisor, list one coefficient for every descending power—including zeros for missing powers—and then repeat multiply and add across the row. Interpret every bottom entry except the last as quotient coefficients one degree lower; the last entry is the remainder.
