We may work such an example as the above more expeditiously, by first reducing d. to the decimal of a penny, which decimal will be 25, and then reducing 625d. to the decimal of a shilling by dividing by 12, which decimal will be 520833, and then reducing 13-520833s. to the decimal of £1. by dividing by 20, which process gives '67604166 as the required decimal of £1.

The mode of operation may be shewn thus:
