When there are cyphers at the right hand of the divi sor; cut off the cyphers in the divisor, and the same number of figures from the right hand of the dividend then divide the remaining ones as usual, and to the remainder (if any) annex those figures cut off from the dividend, and you will have the true remainder.

are ones over.

When the divisor is sucn a number, that any two figares in the Table, being multiplied together will produce it, divide the given dividend by one of those figures: the quotient thence arising by the other; and the last quotient will be the answer.

NOTE. The total remainder is found by multiplying the last remainder by the first divisor, and adding in the first remainder.

Cut off as many figures from the right hand of the dividend as there are cyphers in the divisor, and these figures so cut off are the remainder; and the other figures of the dividend are the quotient.

COMPOUND ADDITION,

Is the adding of several numbers together, having afferent denominations, but of the same generic kind, as pounds, shillings and pence, &c. Tons, hundreds, quarters, &c.

RULE.*

1. Place the numbers so that those of the same denomination may stand directly under each other.

2. Add the first column or denomination together, as in whole numbers; then divide the sum by as many of the same denomination as make one of the next greater; setting down the remainder under the column added, and carry the quotient to the next superior denomination, continuing the same to the last, which add, as in simple addition.

1. STERLING MONEY,

Is the money of account in Great-Britain, and is reckoned in Pounds, Shillings, Pence and Farthings. See the Pence Tables.

*The reason of this rule is evident: For, addition of this money, as 1 in the pence is equal to 4 in the farthings; 1 in the shillings, to 12 in the pence; and 1 in the pounds, to 20 in the saillings; therefore carrying as directed, is the arranging the money, arising from each column, properly in the scale of denominations; and this reasoning will hold good in the addition of compound numbers of any denomination whatever.
