What is the difference between factor theorem and remainder theorem

Open in App
Solution

The remainder theorem tells us that for any polynomial f(x) , if you divide it by the binomial x−a , the remainder is equal to the value of f(a) .

The factor theorem tells us that if a is a zero of a polynomial f(x) , then (x−a) is a factor of f(x), and vice-versa.
