Question

In a long division exercise the divisor is 8x5−4x. What is the degree of the remainder for which the division process can be​ stopped?

Answer 1

Answer:

The degree of the remainder should be 4 for the division process to be stopped

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we have the degree of the divisor as 5

So, for the division process to be stopped, the degree of the remainder should be one less than the degree of the divisor

Once the degree of the remainder is less than the degree of the divisor, we have no option that to stop and not proceed further with the division

So in the case of the particular question, the degree of the remainder should be of degree 4
