...numbers means that the first ¡г to be divided by the second. Thus, 19 -т- 5 means 19 divided by 5. If the Dividend does not contain the Divisor an exact number of time«, it will contain it a certain number of times (the Quotient) with a number left over, which...

...forming a fractional pan of the whole quotient. • This method of proof is plain enough : for since the quotient is the number of times the dividend contains the divisor, the quotient multiplied by the divisor must evidently be equal to tbe dividend There are also several...

...forming a fractional part of the whole quotient. * This method of proof is plain enough ; for since the quotient is the number of times the dividend contains the divisor, Uw quotient multiplied by the divisor must evidently be equal to the dividend. There are also several...

...thus, .00756, or, which is the same thing, 0.00756, in order to make up the proper number. 70. When the dividend does not contain the divisor an exact number of times, or, in other words, when the quotient cannot be expressed entirely in integer numbers, still it may...

...vulgar fractions, which will be treated of hereafter. The reason of the proof is plain ; for, since the quotient is the number of times the dividend contains the divisor, the product of the quotient and divisor must, evidently, be equal to the dividend. As the quotient...

...vulgar fractions, which will be treated of hereafter. Th« reason of the proof is plain ; for, since the quotient is the number of times the dividend contains the divisor, the product of the quotient and divisoi must, evidently, be equal to the dividend. • As the quotient...

...DIVIDEND, is the number given to be divided. II. The DIVISOR is the number given to divide by. III. The QUOTIENT is the number of times the dividend contains the divisor. i IV. The REMAINDER is what is left of the dividend, after con* taining the divisor as many times as...

...vulgar fractions, which will be treated of hereafter. The reason of the proof is plain; for, since the quotient is the number of times the dividend contains the divisor, the product of the quotient and divisor must, evidently, be equal to the dividend. As the quotient...

...the work, is called the quotient. And there'is sometimes an uncertain number called the remainder. The dividend is the number to be divided. The divisor is the number by which the dividend is to be divided. The quotient shows how many times the dividend contains the divisor,...

...number is contained in another number, and thus finding what part of one number, is another number. The dividend is the number to be divided. The divisor is the number by which you divide. The quotient is the answer obtained by dividing. Reduction is changing units of one order,...
