SIMPLE ADDITION

Teaches to add several numbers of the same kind into one total.

Example.

425 Begin at the lowest figure of the right hand column, 214 that is with 3, and add thus, 3 and 4 are 7; and 7 are 561 14; and 1 are 15; and 4 are 19; and 5 are 24. Put 27 down 4 under 3, and add 2 to the next column. Again, 204 2 added to 5 are 7; and 2 are 9; and 6 are 15; and 53 1 are 16; and 2 are 18. add 1 to the next column. Total 1484 and 5 are 8; and 2 are 10; under 2, and 1 to the left.

Put down 8 under 5, and
Again, 1 added to 2 are 3;
and 4 are 14. Put down 4
The total is 1484.

Method of Proof. Begin at the upper instead of the under figure of the right-hand column, and proceed towards the bottom; and if the total is the same, you may conclude the work is right.

SIMPLE SUBTRACTION

Teaches to find the difference between two numbers of

the same kind by taking the less from the greater.

Example.
75964

41532

Difference 34432

Take 2 from 4, and 2 remain; 3 from 6 and 3 remain; 5 from 9 and 4 remain; 1 from 5 and 4 remain; 4 from 7 and 3 remain. The difference is 34,432.

When the under figure is greater than the upper, borrow ten, and add one to the next figure in the lower line, as in the following

Example.

28176

87459 6 from 9, 3;-7 from 5, borrow 10, which added to 5 make 15-7 from 15, 8;-1 that was borrowed added to 1 makes 2-2 from 4, 2;-8 from 7, borrow 10, 8 from 17, 9;-1 and 2 are 3, 3 from 8, 5. The difference, or remainder, is 59,283. Add the remainder to the less number, and if the
