The polynomial remainder theorem says when we divide polynomial f(x) by x-a we'll get remainder f(a).

f(x)=x^3 - 3x^2 - 31x - 72

f(8)=8^3 - 3(8^2) - 31(8) - 72

f(8)=512 - 3(64) - 31(8) - 72 = 512-192-248-72 = 0

Since <em>f(8)=0</em> that means <em>x-8</em> has a remainder zero when divided by <em>f(x).</em> In other words, it's a factor of <em>f(x)</em>.
