Algebraic long division can be useful in factorising polynomials.
In the first video tutorial you are introduced to a numeric example to get you used to the method and then I do the same again on an algebraic one so that you can hopefully see the similarity and grasp the concept with ease. The example used is

Sometimes several terms can be missing in the polynomial.

See how to handle this type.
You may find that the divisor does not go in exactly but will leave a remainder.
This is demonstrated next.
