**Educational Exercise: Polynomial Factorization**

**Objective:** Show that the given binomial is a factor of the polynomial, then factor the polynomial completely.

**Problem Statement:**

Given the polynomial: 

\[ s(x) = x^4 + 4x^3 - 64x - 256 \]

and the binomial: 

\[ x + 4 \]

**Tasks:**

1. Demonstrate that \( x + 4 \) is a factor of \( s(x) \).
2. Factor the polynomial \( s(x) \) completely.

**Solution Approach:**

Start by using polynomial division or the Remainder Theorem to verify if \( x + 4 \) is a factor. If the remainder is zero, then \( x + 4 \) is a factor.

Proceed to factorize the polynomial completely by further breaking down the quotient obtained from the division process.

**Further Explanation:**

Explain each step of the division and factorization in detail, providing insights into methods used, such as synthetic division or long division for polynomials. 

Conclude with a fully factored expression of \( s(x) \).
