#2x^2y^2-3xy+5#

Explanation:

#"one way is to use the divisor as a factor in the numerator"#

#"consider the numerator"#

#color(red)(2x^2y^2)(3xy-1)color(magenta)(+2x^2y^2)-11x^2y^2+18xy-5#

#=color(red)(2x^2y^2)(3xy-1)color(red)(-3xy)(3xy-1)color(magenta)(-3xy)+18xy-5#

#=color(red)(2x^2y^2)(3xy-1)color(red)(-3xy)(3xy-1)color(red)(+5)(3xy-1)color(magenta)(+5)-5#

#=color(red)(2x^2y^2)(3xy-1)color(red)(-3xy)(3xy-1)color(red)(+5)(3xy-1)+0#

#"quotient "=color(red)(2x^2y^2-3xy+5)," remainder "=0#
