Step 1 factor (x^2 + 3x + 2):
(x^2 + 3x + 2) = (x+2)(x+1)
Step 2 :write is as a fraction becaue that what division is .
(x+2)(x+1) / (x+2)
Step 3: simplify - since you have x+2 in your numerator and denominator you can cancel them out. And you are left with x+1 .

Factor x^2+3x+2= (x+2)(x+1) now divide out (x+2)
(x+1) is left

The above answer is particularly incorrect. there is a demonstration incorrect interior the factoring of the numerator. The numerator aspects into (x+3)(x-5), and the denominator into (2x+a million)(x-5) The (x-5)'s cancel and the respond is (x+3)/(2x+a million)
