11.2.4  Quotient and remainder

The quorem or divide command finds the quotient and remainder of the Euclidean division of two polynomials.

• quorem takes two mandatory arguments and one optional argument:
  • P and Q, two polynomials.
  • Optionally x, the variable (by default x), if P and Q are given as expressions.
• quorem(P,Q  ⟨,x⟩) returns a list consisting of the Euclidean quotient and the Euclidean remainder of P divided by Q.
