Polynomial long division
Let us suppose a polynomial is represented by a vector, (i.e., an ordered collection of coefficients) so that the th element keeps the coefficient of , and the multiplication by a monomial is a shift of the vector's elements "towards right" (injecting ones from left) followed by a multiplication of each element by the coefficient of the monomial.
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

- In algebra, polynomial long division is an algorithm for dividing a polynomial by another polynomial of the same or lower degree.
Then a pseudocode for the polynomial long division using the conventions described above could be:
degree(P):
return the index of the last non-zero element of P;
if all elements are 0, return -∞
polynomial_long_division(N, D) returns (q, r):
// N, D, q, r are vectors
if degree(D) < 0 then error
q ← 0
while degree(N) ≥ degree(D)
d ← D shifted right by (degree(N) - degree(D))
q(degree(N) - degree(D)) ← N(degree(N)) / d(degree(d))
// by construction, degree(d) = degree(N) of course
d ← d * q(degree(N) - degree(D))
N ← N - d
endwhile
r ← N
return (q, r)
Note: vector * scalar multiplies each element of the vector by the scalar; vectorA - vectorB subtracts each element of the vectorB from the element of the vectorA with "the same index". The vectors in the pseudocode are zero-based.
- Error handling (for allocations or for wrong inputs) is not mandatory.
- Conventions can be different; in particular, note that if the first coefficient in the vector is the highest power of x for the polynomial represented by the vector, then the algorithm becomes simpler.
Example for clarification
This example is from Wikipedia, but changed to show how the given pseudocode works.
0 1 2 3 ---------------------- N: -42 0 -12 1 degree = 3 D: -3 1 0 0 degree = 1 d(N) - d(D) = 2, so let's shift D towards right by 2: N: -42 0 -12 1 d: 0 0 -3 1 N(3)/d(3) = 1, so d is unchanged. Now remember that "shifting by 2" is like multiplying by x2, and the final multiplication (here by 1) is the coefficient of this monomial. Let's store this into q: 0 1 2 --------------- q: 0 0 1 now compute N - d, and let it be the "new" N, and let's loop N: -42 0 -9 0 degree = 2 D: -3 1 0 0 degree = 1 d(N) - d(D) = 1, right shift D by 1 and let it be d N: -42 0 -9 0 d: 0 -3 1 0 * -9/1 = -9 q: 0 -9 1 d: 0 27 -9 0 N ← N - d N: -42 -27 0 0 degree = 1 D: -3 1 0 0 degree = 1 looping again... d(N)-d(D)=0, so no shift is needed; we multiply D by -27 (= -27/1) storing the result in d, then q: -27 -9 1 and N: -42 -27 0 0 - d: 81 -27 0 0 = N: -123 0 0 0 (last N) d(N) < d(D), so now r ← N, and the result is: 0 1 2 ------------- q: -27 -9 1 → x2 - 9x - 27 r: -123 0 0 → -123

Clojure
This example performs multivariate polynomial division using Buchberger's algorithm to decompose a polynomial into its Gröbner bases. Polynomials are represented as hash-maps of monomials with tuples of exponents as keys and their corresponding coefficients as values: e.g. 2xy + 3x + 5y + 7 is represented as {[1 1] 2, [1 0] 3, [0 1] 5, [0 0] 7}.
Since this algorithm is much more efficient when the input is in graded reverse lexicographic (grevlex) order a comparator is included to be used with Clojure's sorted-map—(into (sorted-map-by grevlex) ...)—as well as necessary functions to compute polynomial multiplication, monomial complements, and S-polynomials.

Polynomials are represented as lists of degree/coefficient pairs ordered by degree (highest degree first), and pairs with zero coefficients can be omitted. Multiply and divide perform long multiplication and long division, respectively. multiply returns one value, the product, and divide returns two, the quotient and the remainder.

This program has some unnecessary features contributing to its length:
- It creates polynomial objects rather than performing its operations directly on arrays.
- It includes code for printing polynomials nicely.
- It prints the intermediate steps of the division.

Maple
As Maple is a symbolic computation system, polynomial arithmetic is, of course, provided by the language runtime. The remainder (rem) and quotient (quo) operations each allow for the other to be computed simultaneously by passing an unassigned name as an optional fourth argument. Since rem and quo deal also with multivariate polynomials, the indeterminate is passed as the third argument. <lang Maple> > p := randpoly( x ); # pick a random polynomial in x
5 4 3 2
p := -56 - 7 x + 22 x - 55 x - 94 x + 87 x
> rem( p, x^2 + 2, x, 'q' ); # remainder
220 + 169 x
> q; # quotient
3 2
-7 x + 22 x - 41 x - 138
> quo( p, x^2 + 2, x, 'r' ); # quotient
3 2
-7 x + 22 x - 41 x - 138
> r; # remainder
220 + 169 x
> expand( (x^2+2)*q + r - p ); # check
0

Mathematica

OCaml
First define some utility operations on polynomials as lists (with highest power coefficient first). <lang ocaml>let rec shift n l = if n <= 0 then l else shift (pred n) (l @ [0.0]) let rec pad n l = if n <= 0 then l else pad (pred n) (0.0 :: l) let rec norm = function | 0.0 :: tl -> norm tl | x -> x let deg l = List.length (norm l) - 1
let zip op p q =
let d = (List.length p) - (List.length q) in List.map2 op (pad (-d) p) (pad d q)</lang>
Then the main polynomial division function <lang ocaml>let polydiv f g =
let rec aux f s q =
let ddif = (deg f) - (deg s) in
if ddif < 0 then (q, f) else
let k = (List.hd f) /. (List.hd s) in
let ks = List.map (( *.) k) (shift ddif s) in
let q' = zip (+.) q (shift ddif [k])
and f' = norm (List.tl (zip (-.) f ks)) in
aux f' s q' in
aux (norm f) (norm g) []</lang>
For output we need a pretty-printing function <lang ocaml>let str_poly l =
let term v p = match (v, p) with
| ( _, 0) -> string_of_float v
| (1.0, 1) -> "x"
| ( _, 1) -> (string_of_float v) ^ "*x"
| (1.0, _) -> "x^" ^ (string_of_int p)
| _ -> (string_of_float v) ^ "*x^" ^ (string_of_int p) in
let rec terms = function
| [] -> []
| h :: t ->
if h = 0.0 then (terms t) else (term h (List.length t)) :: (terms t) in
String.concat " + " (terms l)</lang>
and then the example <lang ocaml>let _ =
let f = [1.0; -4.0; 6.0; 5.0; 3.0] and g = [1.0; 2.0; 1.0] in let q, r = polydiv f g in Printf.printf " (%s) div (%s)\ngives\nquotient:\t(%s)\nremainder:\t(%s)\n" (str_poly f) (str_poly g) (str_poly q) (str_poly r)</lang>
gives the output:
(x^4 + -4.*x^3 + 6.*x^2 + 5.*x + 3.) div (x^2 + 2.*x + 1.) gives quotient: (x^2 + -6.*x + 17.) remainder: (-23.*x + -14.)
Octave
Octave has already facilities to divide two polynomials (deconv(n,d)); and the reason to adopt the convention of keeping the highest power coefficient first, is to make the code compatible with builtin functions: we can use polyout to output the result.
<lang octave>function [q, r] = poly_long_div(n, d)
gd = length(d);
pv = zeros(1, length(n));
pv(1:gd) = d;
if ( length(n) >= gd )
q = [];
while ( length(n) >= gd )
q = [q, n(1)/pv(1)];
n = n - pv .* (n(1)/pv(1));
n = shift(n, -1); %
tn = n(1:length(n)-1); % eat the higher power term
n = tn; %
tp = pv(1:length(pv)-1);
pv = tp; % make pv the same length of n
endwhile
r = n;
else
q = [0];
r = n;
endif
endfunction
[q, r] = poly_long_div([1,-12,0,-42], [1,-3]); polyout(q, 'x'); polyout(r, 'x'); disp(""); [q, r] = poly_long_div([1,-12,0,-42], [1,1,-3]); polyout(q, 'x'); polyout(r, 'x'); disp(""); [q, r] = poly_long_div([1,3,2], [1,1]); polyout(q, 'x'); polyout(r, 'x'); disp(""); [q, r] = poly_long_div([1,3], [1,-12,0,-42]); polyout(q, 'x'); polyout(r, 'x');</lang>
PARI/GP
This uses the built-in PARI polynomials. <lang parigp>poldiv(a,b)={
my(rem=a%b); [(a - rem)/b, rem]
};
poldiv(x^9+1, x^3+x-3)</lang>
Alternately, use the built-in function divrem:
<lang parigp>divrem(x^9+1, x^3+x-3)~</lang>
