5.28.2 Euclidean quotient: quo Quo

The quo command finds the quotient of the Euclidean division of two polynomials.

Examples

Quo is the inert form of quo; namely, it evaluates to quo for later evaluation. It is used when Xcas is in Maple mode (see Section 2.5.2) to compute the euclidean quotient of the division of two polynomials with coefficients in ℤ/pℤ using Maple-like syntax.

Examples

If Xcas is not in Maple mode, polynomial division in ℤ/pℤ[X] is done e.g. by:

quo((x^3+3*x)% 5,(2x^2+6x+5)%5)
