To know the value of any number of figures: RULE.-1. Numerate from the right to the left hand, each figure in its proper place, by saying, units, tens, hundreds, &c. as in the Nume ration Table. 2. To the simple value of each figure, join the name of its place beginning at the left hand, and reading to the right. EXAMPLES. Read the following numbers. 365, Three hundred and six1y-tive. 5461, Five thousand four hundred and sixty-one. 1234, One thousand two hundred and thirty-four. 54026, Fifty-four thousand and twenty-six. 123461, One hundred and twenty-three thousand four hundred and sixty-one. 4666240, Four millions, six hundred and sixty-six thousand two hundred and forty. NOTE. For convenience ir eading large numbers, they may be divided into periods of three figures each, as follows 987, Nine hundred and eighty-seven. 987 000, Nine hundred and eighty-seven thousand. 987 000 000, Nine hundred and eighty-seven million. 987 654 321, Nine hundred and eighty-seven million, sı hundred and fifty-four thousand, three hun dred and twenty-ons. To write numbers. Ru Begin on the right hand, write units in the units place, wns he tens place, hundreds in the hundreds place, and so on, towards the left hand, writing each figure according to its proper value in numeration; taking care to supply those places of the natural order with ciphers which are omitted in the question. EXAMPLES. Write down in proper figures the following numbers: Thirty-six. Two hundred and seventy-nine. Thirty-seven thousand, five hundred and fourteen. SIMPLE ADDITION. IS putting together several smaller numbers, of the same denomination, into one larger, equal to the whole or sum total; as 4 dollars and 6 dollars in one sum is 10 dollars. RULE. Having placed units under units, tens under tens, &c. draw a line underneath, and begin with the units; after adding up every figure in that column, consider how many tens are contained in their sum; set down the remainder under the units, and carry so many as you have tens, to the next column of tens; proceed in the same manner through every column or row, and set down the whole amount of the last row. To prove Addition, begin at the top of the sum, and reckon the figures downwards in the same manner as they were added up wards, and if it be right, this sum total will be equal to the first: Or cut off the upper line of figures, and find the amount of the rest; then if the amount and upper line, when added, be e quai to the total, the work is supposed to be right. EXAMPLE. 3782 576 66 8755 2. There is another method of proof, as follows :— Reject or cast out the nines in each row or sum of figures, and set down the remainders, each directly even with the figures in its row; find the sum of these remainders; then if the excess of nines in the sum found as before, is equal to the excess 18 3 0 3 of nines in the sum total, the work is sup posed to be right. Excess of 9's. 15. Add 8635, 2194, 7421, 5063, 2196, and 1245, together. Ans. 26754. 16. Find the sum of 3482, 783645, 318, 7530, and 9678045. Ans. 10473020. 17.
