The video tutorial explains polynomial division using the remainder theorem. It begins with an introduction to polynomial division and the remainder theorem, followed by solving simultaneous equations using the theorem. The tutorial then delves into understanding polynomial remainders and their degrees. It applies the remainder theorem to solve polynomial division problems and concludes with solving example problems.
