But polynom is intended for polynom division, not integer division.
For integer division use longdiv.sty (attached).
Writing \longdiv{10}{5} in latex mode will generate the following output:
__2
5|10
10
--
0
__2_
If you just want to generate just 5 | 10, then use simplediv.sty
(attached)
and write \simplediv{10}{5}{2}

Any methods to show arithmatic style division?
Hello group, I'm wondering if LyX (or I supose LaTeX) has a way to show arithmetic style division: _2__ 5 |10 Or should I use xfig and draw out the problem? If there is a LyX way to do this I'd be wonderfully happy to learn how, so please tell me! PS. I don't know LaTeX but I know you can type it in via the TeX button or put it in the preamble.
