Σελίδα 76 - Cut off as many figures from the right hand of the dividend as there are ciphers in the divisor. The remaining figures of the dividend will be the quotient, and those cut off the remainder.
Σελίδα 66 - The number to be divided is called the dividend. The number by which we divide is called the divisor.
Σελίδα 99 - The greatest common divisor of two or more numbers, is the greatest number which will divide them without a remainder. Thus 6 is the greatest common divisor of 12, 18, 24, and 30.
Σελίδα 17 - It shows that the numbers between which it is placed are to be multiplied together ; thus, the expression 7 x 5 = 35 is read, 7 multiplied by 5 is equal to 35.

Σελίδα 44 - PROOF.—Add the remainder to the smaller number ; and if the sum is equal to the larger number, the work is right. OBS. This method of proof depends upon the principle, that the difference between two numbers being added to the less, the sum must be equal to the greater.
Σελίδα 368 - Multiply the divisor, thus increased, by the last figure of the root; subtract the product from the dividend, and to the remainder bring down the next period for a new dividend.
Σελίδα 369 - The square of the sum of two numbers is equal to the square of the first number plus twice the product of the first and second number plus the square of the second number.
