    If you add and subtract x^2 from the numerator you can split up the fraction in to
    1 + (x^5 - x^2) / (x^2+x+1) =
    1 + x^2 * (x^3 - 1) / (x^2+x+1) =
    1 + x^2 * (x - 1)(x^2 + x + 1)/ (x^2+x+1) =
    1+ x^3 - x^2
    Final result x^3 - x^2 + 1
    There's also a way of doing this by factoring the numerator but it's gonna be a bit of brute force and systems and a whole lot of work, and maybe some guessing. It's a nice problem that rewards you for good observation making.

    Just add (and subtract) x^4+x^3+x^2...

      Yeah either that or synthetic division according to your mood

    Add and subtract x^2 in numerator to get x^2(x-1) +1

    I just did long division. looks something like this. the x^2 + x + 1 goes into it x^3 number of times leaving remainder of -x^4 - x^3 + x + 1 which then goes into it -x^2 number of times leaving remainder x^2 + x + 1 which goes into it 1 time.
    Final answer is x^3 - x^2 + 1

      My method too, appeared quite simple

    Multiply both top and bottom by (x-1). The top is x^6-1 and the bottom is x^3-1. Factori both into the complex roots of one and watch the carnage of cancellation.

      The numerator will not be X^6-1

      @@yuryp6975 Well I feel stupid. Thanks--- I was thinking x^5+x^4+x^3+x^2+x+1 just missed a few terms.

      The numerator will have x^6-1 and two extra terms, but this approach still works well.
      Num = x^6 - 1 - x^5 + x^2
      = (x^3+1)(x^3-1) - x^2 (x^3-1)
      = (x^3+1-x^2)(x^3-1)

    *(x⁵ +x +1) / (x² +x +1) = (x⁵ +x⁴ +x³ +x² +x +1 - x⁴ - x³ - x²) / (x² +x +1) = [x³(x² +x +1) +1(x² +x +1) - x²(x² +x +1)] / (x² +x +1) = **-(x² +x +1)-** • (x³ - x² +1) / **-(x² +x +1)-** = x³ -x² +1*

    (x⁵ +x+1)/(x² +x+1)=
    (x⁵-x²+x+1+x²)/(x² +x+1)=
    [x²(x³-1)+x²+x+1]/
    (x² +x+1)=
    [x²(x-1)(x²+x+1)+x²+x+1]/
    (x² +x+1)=
    (x²+x+1)[x²(x-1)+1]/
    (x² +x+1)=
    x²(x-1)+1 =
    x³-x²+1
    answer
    (x⁵+x+1)/(x²+x+1) =
    x³-x²+1

    It is a true art to take a math problem and be able to come up with 3 bad methods/explanations. Impressive, as always.
