§ 6. Compound Subtraction.

COMPOUND SUBTRACTION teaches to find the difference between any two sums of diverse denominations.

RULE FOR COMPOUND SUBTRACTION.

"PLACE those numbers under each other, which are of the same denomi"nation, the less being below the greater; begin with the least denomina“tion, and if it exceed the figure over it, borrow as many units as make one "of the next greater; subtract it therefrom; and to the difference add the "upper figure, remembering, always to add one to the next superior denomi"nation, for that which you borrowed.'"

PROOF. In the same manner as simple subtraction.
