When there is one cipher, or more, at the right hand of the tivisor, it or they may be cut off; also, cut off the same number of fig ures at the right hand of the dividend, and proceed as in the last case 2. The figures which were cut off from the dividend must be placed at the right hand of the remainder; but, if ciphers only were cut off from the dividend, they must not be annexed to the remainder. When the divisor is the product of any two or more numbers in the multiplication table. RULE. Divide the given sum by one of those numbers, the quotient thence arising by the other, and so on; the last quotient will be the answer required. " Then to find the true remainder. RULE. 1. Multiply the quotient by the whole divisor, and subtract the product from the dividend, the result will be the true remainder ; or, 2. Multiply the last remainder by the preceding divisor, or the last but one; and to the product add the preceding remainder; multiply the sum by the next preceding divisor, and to the product add the next preceding remainder, and so on, till you have gone through all the divisors and remainders, to the first; the result will be the true remainder required. |
