Divisibility of binomials


As consequences from Bezout’s theorem  the next criteria of divisibility  of binomials are valid:

1) A difference of  identical powers of two numbers is divided without a remainder by a difference of these two numbers,
i.e.   xm –  am    is divided by   x – a.

2) A difference of  identical even powers of two numbers is divided without a remainder both by a difference and by a sum of these two numbers, i.e. if m – an even number, then the binomial

xm –  am   is divided both by   x – a  and by   x + a.

A difference of  identical odd powers of two numbers isn’t divided by a sum of these two numbers.

3) A sum of  identical powers of two numbers is never divided by a difference of these two numbers.

4) A sum of  identical odd powers of two numbers is divided without a remainder by a sum of these two numbers.

5) A sum of  identical even powers of two numbers is never divided both by difference and by a sum of these two numbers.

E x a m p l e s :  ( x2 – a2 ) : ( x – a ) = x + a ;

                         ( x3 – a3 ) : ( x – a ) = x2 + a x+ a2 ;

                         ( x5 – a5 ) : ( x – a ) = x4 + a x3 + a2 x2 + a3 x + a4 .
