finding the remainder of the division of two symbolic variables

I want to get 2*V^2 from the operation below
syms A V
rem(2*V^2+3A,A)
but it seems like rem() function does not work with symbolic variables. Is there a way to achieve this in another way?

Hi @ Elif Cansu Akoguz,
If you manually expand the expression and then extract the coefficients, you can deduce the value of z as A^2 in the rewritten function. Let me illustrate it with example,
syms bL bH A V z t;
f = (A^2*bL^2 + 2*A^2*bL + A^2 + 4*bH^2*bL^2 - 8*bH*bL + 4)/(8*(bH*bL - 1)^2);
% Expand the expression
expanded_f = expand(f);
% Extract the coefficients
coeff_z = coeffs(expanded_f, A^2);
z = coeff_z(1); % Assuming z is the coefficient of A^2
% Verify the result
rewritten_f = z*(1+bL)^2 + t;
This approach will bypass the limitation of the coeffs function with complex arguments. Hope this helps.

you can use "quorem" function to get the Quotient and remainder for a particular expression:
here is an example on how to do it:
[q, r] = quorem(expr, A, A);
To read more about this function refer to this link:
