In mathematics, Ruffini's rule is a method for computation of the Euclidean division of a polynomial by a binomial of the form x – r.

The Synthetic division of polynomials is a shortcut of polynomial division, especially if we need to divide by a linear factor.

Ruffini’s rule (often known as synthetic division) is an efficient method of dividing a polynomial by a linear factor, with or without a remainder.

Thanks to the work of Paolo Ruffini in the 's, we have a shorter way of performing division of polynomials when the divisor is of the form x − k 1.
