Well, Let me explain

First you write out the Divisor and Dividend

Then You will use the first part of the divisor which in this case is (#x#) to divide with the first part of the dividend which is (#x^3#)

Then you will write the answer which is the Quotient on-top of the square root sign

After than you multiply the Quotient which is (#x^2#) through the Divisor which is (#x-1#)

Then you write the answer which is the Reminder below the Dividend and subtract both equations..

Do that repeatedly until you get the Reminder as #0# or if its not longer Divisible by the Divisor..
