348

We find by the quotient, there are 87 times 4 in 348: therefore we know that 87 times 4, or 4 times 87, must make 348. Had our quotient been wrong, our product and dividend would not be equal.

49. Divide 72 by 8, and prove the work to be right. 50. Divide 5890 by 5, and prove the work to be right. 51. Divide 39781 by 7, and prove the work to be right. 52.

8)130

We have 2 units over. This 2 is a remainder; it shows that there are 2 hats, which cannot be divided into eights.

59. Suppose 568 to be a dividend, and 7 the divisor; what is the quotient, and the remainder?

60. Suppose 1953 to be a dividend, and 7 the divi sor; what is the quotient, and the remainder?

61. Divide 564 by 7, and prove the work to be right. The remainder, in division, is an undivided part of the dividend: therefore, the remainder must be added to the product of the divisor and quotient, to make the product equal to the dividend.

62. Divide 109 by 6, and prove the work to be right. 63. Divide 817 by 5, and prove the work to be right.

SECTION 3.

The method of dividing taught in the two preceding sections, is called Short division: the method taught in this section; is called Long division. In long division, we place the quotient on the right hand of the dividend, and perform some operations under the dividend, heretofore performed in the mind.

1. How many times is 4 contained in 95307?

[blocks in formation]

Perceiving that 4 is contained in 9, twice, we place 2 in the quotient, multiply the divisor by 2, and subtract the product (8)

4)95307(23826 from 9.

Remainder 3

This is the same as

saying in short divisien, ‘4 in 9, 2 times, and 1 over. Now. since the 1 over must be joined with the 5, we bring the 5 down to the right of the 1: and then, perceiving that 4 is contained in 15, 3 times, we place 3 in the quotient, multiply the divisor by 3, and subtract the product as before. Thus we proceed to bring down every figure of the dividend, and unite it with the previous remainder.

Perform the following examples by long division.
2. How many times 5 are there in 7163?
3. How many times 7 are there in 88 704 ?
4. How many times 6 are there in 97 547?
5. How many times 3 are there in 8 057 251?
6. How many times 4 are there in 8708 983 ?
7. How many times 5 are there in 6 457 080 ?
8. How many times 8 are there in 25 648 ?

The divisor not being contained once in the left hand figure of the dividend, we join this figure with the next. After bringing down the 4, we find the divisor is not contained in it; therefore, we place a 0 in the quotient, and bring down the next figure. 9. How many times 5 are there in 43 906? 10. How many times 9 are there in 70 223? 11 How many times 6 are there in 901 500? 12. How many times 7 are there in 161 635 ? 13. How many times 24 are there in 3762?

This operation is performed in the same manner that it would have been, if the divisor had consisted of only one figure.

The two following examples will show the method of determining when a figure placed in the quotient is too great, and when it is too small.

4. How many times is 18 contained in 12 532 ?

In this example, we have chosen 7 for the last figure of the quotient; but it appears, that 7 times 18 are more than 112, therefore 18 is not contained 7 times in 112. The 7 and the product arising from it must be rubbed out, and a smaller figure must be placed in the quotient.

Here we have chosen & for the last figure of the quotient; but, after subtracting 8 times 35 from 317, there remains, 37. This remainder will contain 35, once more; therefore, we must rub out the 8 and the work resulting from it, and must put 9 in the place of 8. 16. How many times is 47 contained in 804 ? 17. How many times is 53 contained in 1625? 18 How many times is 68 contained in 94 605 ? 19. How many times is 71 contained in 661 419? 20. How many times is 108 contain d in 216? 21.

RULE FOR DIVISION.

When the divisor does not exceed 9, draw a line under the dividend, find how many times the divisor is contained in the left hand figure, or two left hand figures of the dividend, and write the figure expressing the number of times underneath: if there be a remainder over, conceive it to be prefixed to the next figure of the dividend, and divide the next figure as before. Thus proceed through the dividend.

When the divisor is more than 9, find how many times it is contained in the fewest figures that will contain it, on the left of the dividend, write the figure expressing the number of times to the right of the dividend, for the first quotient figure; multiply the divisor by this figure, and subtract the product from the figures of the dividend considered. Place the next figure of the dividend on the right of the remainder, and divide this number as before. Thus proceed through the dividend.

PROOF. Multiply the divisor and quotient together and to the product add the remainder: the sum will be equal to the dividend, if the work be right.
