Explanation:
one way is to use the divisor as a factor in the numerator
consider the numerator
−7x2(x−4)−28x2−15x2−24x−4
=−7x2(x−4)−43x(x−4)−172x−24x−4
=−7x2(x−4)−43x(x−4)−196(x−4)−784−4
=−7x2(x−4)−43x(x−4)−196(x−4)−788
quotient =−7x2−43x−196, remainder =−788
⇒−7x3−15x2−24x−4x−4
=−7x2−43x−196−788x−4
