Subtract 91 francs 63 centimes from 1720 fr. 11c., divide the remainder by 81, and find the value of the quotient, at 18cts. a franc. DUODECIMALS. DUODECIMALS are compound numbers, in which each denomination is of the one above it. 2 in square and cubic measure. They are used The denominations of Duodecimals are, the foot, or unit, the inch, or prime, marked ('), the second, or twelfth of a prime ("), the third, or twelfth of a second (""), the fourth (""), and so on. These marks are called indices. Duodecimals are added and subtracted in the same manner as other compound numbers, but multiplication and division, when both numbers contain duodecimals, present some difficulties. The product of units by units is units; units by primes give primes, units by seconds give seconds, &c. Primes by primes give seconds; primes by seconds give thirds, &c. Generally, to the product of any two denominations, tors. we must annex as many indices as there are in both facFor example, 5" x 5"" is the same as 15 of 12×152 of 12 of 12 of 12 In one factor, the denominator 12 is contained twice, in the other, four times; then in their product it will be contained six times, which will be represented by 25""""". For a similar reason, in division we subtract the indices of the divisor from those of the dividend. Then 32"""8"-4". 2 66 3'7" 20" 8' 3" 21" EXAMPLES FOR THE BOARD. 11' 5" 11" 2' 1" 3" 5""" What is the product of 2 3' 7" by 9 5′ 9" 5' 11" 11"? We write the units' figure of the multiplier under the right-hand figure of the multiplicand, because the product of any denomination by units is of the same value. The product by 12ths will be 12 times smaller than that by units, the product by seconds, 12 times smaller than that by primes, and so on. We therefore write the first figure of each product under the figure by which we multiply, as in simple multiplication. When any product, or the sum of any column, is greater than 12, we reduce it to its value in higher denominations, and carry the quotient to the next column at the left. to primes, and find 34' contain 9, 3' times. Multiplying and subtracting as before, we have a remainder 5' 6" 5"", to which we annex the 5' of the dividend. 5′ 6" 66" which contain 9, 7′′ times. Multiplying by 7", there is no remainder; the quotient is therefore, 237". These operations are so analogous to those of Simple Multiplication and Division, that they require no separate rules. 66 1.
