x-4 |x3-6x2+0x+32(x3-6x2+32)/(x-4)x3/x =x2, put x2 on top

x2 x-4 |x3-6x2+0x+32(x3-6x2+32)/(x-4)x2(x-4)=x3-4x2, put x3-4x2 underneath an line it up.

Synthetic DivisionSynthetic DivisionDoes exactly the same thing as polynomial long divisionFasterTakes up less spaceEasier (for me, at least)Factoring PolynomialsLets say I have a polynomial x3-6x2+32 and I want to factor it.Factoring cubics is hard.Maybe I graph it and I notice that it looks like I have a root at x=4.I can guess that my factoring will look something likex3-6x2+32=(x-4)(.)Polynomial Divisionx3-6x2+32=(x-4)(.)In order to find the (.), I have to divide both sides by (x-4).(x3-6x2+32)/(x-4)=(.)

1 is NOT a root(x-1) is NOT a factorFinal ThoughtYour book (and possibly your recitation instructor) write synthetic division upside down. Its the same thing, just with the numbers in a different place.
