I suppose you mean


(3x^3+4x^2+6x+9)/(x^2+3x+7)


3x^3=3x\cdot x^2, and if we multiply
x^2+3x+7 by
3x we get
3x^3+9x^2+21x. Subtracting this from the numerator gives a remainder of
-5x^2-15x+9.


-5x^2=-5\cdot x^2, and multiplying
x^2+3x+7 by
-5 gives
-5x^2-15x-35. Subtracting this from the previous remainder gives a new remainder of
44.


44 has no remaining factors of
x^2 in it, so we're done, and


(3x^3+4x^2+6x+9)/(x^2+3x+7)=\underbrace{3x-5}_(\rm quotient)+\frac{\overbrace{44}^(\rm remainder)}{x^2+3x+7}
