Introducing Algebraic Expressions Multiplying Algebraic Expressions Dividing Algebraic Expressions

Quick Facts

Lesson: 22: Algebraic Expressions
Topic: Dividing Algebraic Expressions
Domain: Algebra

Division undoes multiplication: the coefficients divide and the powers subtract, so 12x⁵ ÷ 3x² is 4x³.

Study Tip

Every term on top must be divided, and a power of zero leaves 1 behind rather than 0. You can cancel a factor of the whole top, never a single term of it.
