SNAP
Quotient
compute the quotient of polynomial division
Remainder
compute the remainder of polynomial division
Calling Sequence
Parameters
Description
Examples
Quotient(a, b, x, 'r')
Remainder(a, b, x, 'q')
a, b
-
univariate numeric polynomials in x
x
name; indeterminate for a and b
'r', 'q'
(optional) unevaluated names; assigned remainder and quotient, respectively
The Quotient command returns the numeric quotient of a divided by b.
The Remainder command returns the numeric remainder of a divided by b.
The numeric remainder r and numeric quotient q satisfy: −bq+a−r is small with degreer,x<degreeb,x. Here, small means O10−Digits.
If a fourth argument is included in the calling sequence for Quotient or Remainder, it is assigned the remainder r or quotient q, respectively.
