23. Division is the process of finding how many times one number is contained in another; and the result is called the Quotient. The sign of division is written thus, ÷, and, placed between two numbers or quantities, shows that the one on the left is to be divided by the one on the right. 24 ÷ 8 = 3 shows that 24 divided by 8 is equal to 3. 12. 13. 14. 8? 4044=10 4248=9 6 times 6? 369=4 5 times 6 times 12? 5 times 20? 3 times 25? 754187810 times 12? 00-10=10 420=6 1=16= 4 28= 420=0 7 14 1.

NOTE. The above examples will afford a thorough and profitable mental drill to the pupil, and also familiarize the signs and terms used in the preceding pages, and which must be well understood in the commercement of the study of Written Arithmetic. The teacher can extend the number of examples at pleasure. تاتر J NOTE. Dollars and cents are separated by a period (.); thus, $2.10, is read 2 dollars 10 cents. A Simple Number contains but one name or denomination; thus, 5, 84, 12 bushels, 65 dollars, are simple numbers. A Compound Number contains two or more names or denominations; thus, 5 dollars 25 cents, 16 bushels 3 pecks, 3 days 10 hours, are compound numbers. Reduction is the process of changing numbers from one denomination to another, without altering their value; thus, changing pounds to ounces, ounces to pounds, dollars to cents, &c., is reduction. 1.
