Calculation of 0xf2

m(x) = 0x11b = 100011011 = x^8 + x^4 + x^3 + x + 1
a(x) =   0xf2 =  11110010 = x^7 + x^6 + x^5 + x^4 + x

m(x) = (x + 1) * a(x) + (x^3 + x^2 + 1)

Calculation of 0xf2^-1 in the finite field GF(2⁸)

00001101 = 00000001 * 100011011 + 00000011 * 11110010
00000001 = 00010111 * 100011011 + 00111000 * 11110010
00000000 = 11110010 * 100011011 + 100011011 * 11110010

a^-1(x) = x^5 + x^4 + x^3 = 00111000 = 0x38

The calculation of 0xf2^-1 is made with the Extended Euclidean algorithm. Instead of normal division and multiplication you need to use Polynomialdivision and Polynomialmultiplication.
