Synthetic division serves as a streamlined technique for dividing a polynomial by a linear binomial, focusing strictly on the coefficients. This method provides an efficient means to ascertain if a specific value is a factor of the polynomial. If the outcome of the synthetic division is a zero remainder, we can conclude that the binomial is indeed a factor.
