I want to see (if any) a version of this theorem for the case of a multivariate polynomial

Theorem: For polynomials modulo $m$, for a number $m≥2$, we have: if $r$ is a root of the polynomial $f$, then division of $f$ by $x-r$ yields remainder $0$. This means: It is possible to write $$f(x) = (x-r)q(x)$$ for some (quotient) polynomial $q$.

This result is for a single variable $x$. I wante to see (if any) a version of this threorem for the case of a multivariate polynomial $f$ with

1) two variables $x,y$.

2) three variables $x,y,z$.
