    Could use expansion (x^5+1)= (x+1)*(x^4-x^3+x^2+-x+1) = (x+1)*q(x). Here numerator, n(x) = (x+1)*q(x)+(x+1) = (x+1)*(q(x)+1).
    Also denominator, d(x) = (q(x)+1) hence your result n(x)/d(x) = (x+1).

    If we let N be 5^75 remain and ignore the remainder of N, and if we let D be 5^60 and ignore the remainder of D, then our answer is 5^75/5^60 = 5^15 which is wrong by 1/5^15 OR too small to care -- I am an engineer first and a mathematician second

    M. number 1 is excellent.
    M. number 2 is easiest.
    But in M number 3: what is the basis of choosing (x + 1).

      Thanks 🙏.
      As method-2 works with division so method-3 should work with multiplication by the same.
      Thanks.

    Let t = 5^15,
    and the given E = N/D
    where
    N = t^5 +t +2,
    D = t^4 -t^3 +t^2 -t +2.
    Then, manipulating N
    N = t^5 +t^2 -t^2 -t +2t +2;
    N = (t^2)(t^3 +1)
    -t(t +1) +2(t+1);
    N = (t^2)(t+1)(t^2 -t +1)
    -t(t +1) +2(t+1);
    N = (t +1)[(t^2)(t^2 -t +1)
    -t +2];
    N = (t +1)[t^4 -t^3 +t^2
    -t +2];
    that is,
    N = (t +1)[D]
    Therefore
    E = N/D = (t +1)D/D
    = t +1
    E = (5^15) +1
