The division of
\( 12x^3 + 27x^2 + 23x + 10 \) by
\( 4x + 5 \) using long division results in a quotient of
\( 3x^2 + 3x + 2 \) and a remainder of 0. This means
\( 12x^3 + 27x^2 + 23x + 10 \) is exactly divisible by
\( 4x + 5 \).

1. First Step:- Divide the first term of the numerator
(\(12x^3\)) by the first term of the denominator
(\(4x\)), which gives
\(3x^2\).

- Multiply the entire denominator by
\(3x^2\) (i.e.,
\( (4x + 5)(3x^2) = 12x^3 + 15x^2 \)).

- Subtract this from the original polynomial:
\( (12x^3 + 27x^2 + 23x + 10) - (12x^3 + 15x^2) = 12x^2 + 23x + 10 \).

2. Second Step:

- Now, divide the first term of the new polynomial
(\(12x^2\)) by the first term of the denominator
(\(4x\)), which gives
\(3x\).

- Multiply the entire denominator by
\(3x\) (i.e., \( (4x + 5)(3x) = 12x^2 + 15x \)).

- Subtract this from the current polynomial:
\( (12x^2 + 23x + 10) - (12x^2 + 15x) = 8x + 10 \).

3. Third Step:

- Divide the first term of the current polynomial
(\(8x\)) by the first term of the denominator
(\(4x\)), which gives 2.

- Multiply the entire denominator by 2 (i.e.,
\( (4x + 5)(2) = 8x + 10 \)).

- Subtract this from the current polynomial:
\( (8x + 10) - (8x + 10) = 0 \).

Thus, the quotient is
\( 3x^2 + 3x + 2 \) and the remainder is 0.
