1. Factor the bottom. 
2. Create two fractions, a/p1, and b/p2, where p1 and p2 are the polynomials you just factored out, and a/b are arbitrary variables
3. Multiply a by p2, and b by p1.
4. When you split the 
## Degree of the numerator is equal
1. First perform polynomial division.
2. Then find a partial fraction with the remainder

## Degree where the numerator is greater
1. First perform polynomial division to reach a point where the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator
