Polynomial division preservation of exponential type

Let $F$ be an entire function of one variable satisfying $|F(\zeta )|\le C(1+|\zeta |{)}^N{e}^{R|\mathrm{Im}\zeta |}$, and let $P$ be a nonzero polynomial. If $F/P$ is entire, it satisfies a bound of the same exponential type, with a possibly different polynomial power. Indeed, outside a sufficiently large disk, $|P(\zeta )|\ge c(1+|\zeta |{)}^{\mathrm{deg}P}$; inside the disk the extended quotient is bounded. Combining these estimates proves the claim. The same reasoning works with the exact support function of a compact interval. Zeros of $F$ must cancel every root of $P$ with its full multiplicity.
