Step 1.1

Set up the polynomials to be divided. If there is not a term for every exponent, insert one with a value of $0$ .

$x^{5}$

$0 x^{4}$

$0 x^{3}$

$0 x^{2}$

$0 x$

$0$

$4 x^{7}$

$0 x^{6}$

$0 x^{5}$

$7 x^{4}$

$0 x^{3}$

$5 x^{2}$

$0 x$

$10$

Step 1.2

Divide the highest order term in the dividend $4 x^{7}$ by the highest order term in divisor $x^{5}$ .

$4 x^{2}$

$x^{5}$

$0 x^{4}$

$0 x^{3}$

$0 x^{2}$

$0 x$

$0$

$4 x^{7}$

$0 x^{6}$

$0 x^{5}$

$7 x^{4}$

$0 x^{3}$

$5 x^{2}$

$0 x$

$10$

Step 1.3

Multiply the new quotient term by the divisor.

$4 x^{2}$

$x^{5}$

$0 x^{4}$

$0 x^{3}$

$0 x^{2}$

$0 x$

$0$

$4 x^{7}$

$0 x^{6}$

$0 x^{5}$

$7 x^{4}$

$0 x^{3}$

$5 x^{2}$

$0 x$

$10$

$4 x^{7}$

$0$

Step 1.4

The expression needs to be subtracted from the dividend, so change all the signs in $4 x^{7} + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0$

$4 x^{2}$

$x^{5}$

$0 x^{4}$

$0 x^{3}$

$0 x^{2}$

$0 x$

$0$

$4 x^{7}$

$0 x^{6}$

$0 x^{5}$

$7 x^{4}$

$0 x^{3}$

$5 x^{2}$

$0 x$

$10$

$4 x^{7}$

$0$

Step 1.5

After changing the signs, add the last dividend from the multiplied polynomial to find the new dividend.

$4 x^{2}$

$x^{5}$

$0 x^{4}$

$0 x^{3}$

$0 x^{2}$

$0 x$

$0$

$4 x^{7}$

$0 x^{6}$

$0 x^{5}$

$7 x^{4}$

$0 x^{3}$

$5 x^{2}$

$0 x$

$10$

$4 x^{7}$

$0$

$7 x^{4}$

$0$

$5 x^{2}$

Step 1.6

Pull the next terms from the original dividend down into the current dividend.

$4 x^{2}$

$x^{5}$

$0 x^{4}$

$0 x^{3}$

$0 x^{2}$

$0 x$

$0$

$4 x^{7}$

$0 x^{6}$

$0 x^{5}$

$7 x^{4}$

$0 x^{3}$

$5 x^{2}$

$0 x$

$10$

$4 x^{7}$

$0$

$7 x^{4}$

$0$

$5 x^{2}$

$0 x$

$10$

Step 1.7

The final answer is the quotient plus the remainder over the divisor.

$4 x^{2} + \frac{7 x^{4} + 5 x^{2} - 10}{x^{5}}$

Step 2

Since the last term in the resulting expression is a fraction, the numerator of the fraction is the remainder.

$7 x^{4} + 5 x^{2} - 10$
