When the given quantity is greater than the product of any two factors in the table;

RULE.

Multiply continually by as many tens less one, as the e are figures in the given quantity; then multiply the last product by the figure in the left of the said quantity (if more than ‹ue ;) again, multiply the figure in the unit's place into the iven price; and that in the ten's place into the price of tens &c. place the several products as in addition, and their sum wi be the answer.

COMPOUND DIVISION.

THIS Rule is the reverse of Compound Multiplication, and teaches to divide several numbers of divers denominations; also to find the price of an integer when the quantity and its value are given.

GENERAL RULE.

Divide the first denomination on the left; multiply the remainder (if any) by the numbers of the second denominatio

in an unit of the first, and add the second to the product; dë vide the sum as before, &c. *

Note. In division of money, call each pound remaining two tens, and if there be ten in the shillings, add one, and continue the process.

Divide the value by said number, the quotient will be the

answer.

Note. Express the parts of a dollar, decimally: fill up the blanks (if any) agreeably to Note 3, Case 1, Compound Mul tiplication; then divide as taught in Division of Decimals, and value the figures after the point agreeably to Note 2, page 34.

Note. These examples prove those in Case 1. Compound Multiplication.

CASE 2.

When the dividing number is the exact product of some two factors in the Multiplication Table;

RULE.

Divide by one of said factors, and the quotient by the other.

E

1. Divide 2 dol. 81 cents, 5 mills, by 563. 30 dol. 27 cents, 2 mills, by 704.

2.

Quot. 4 cts. 3m. or 43m

328 dol. 42 cents, 5 mills, by 75.5.

385 dol. 2 cents, by 186.

Quot. 8 cts. Quot. 52 cts.

Quot. 4 dol. 35 cts.

Quot. 2 dol. 7 cts.

Quot. 3 dol. 8m.

280 dol. 49 cents, 6 mills by 93.25.

Note. These examples prove those in Case 2, Compound Multiplication.

CASE 3.

When the dividing number is not the exact product of any two factors in the table;

RULE.

Divide the greatest denomination by said number, as in Long Division; multiply the remainder (if any) by as many of the next denomination as make one of that, adding in the number of the next name; divide the product as before, &c.
