When the given quantity exceeds 12, and is the exact product of some two factors in the multiplication table RULE. Multiply the given price of an integer by one of said factors, and the product of that by the other; the last product will be the answer. When the given quantity is not the exact product of any two factors in the multiplication table; RULE. Use two such factors as will produce the nearest to the given quantity, and add or subtract for the deficiency or 148 at лили 6 4 facit 37 19 8 5 II 46 17 4 When the given quantity is greater than the product of any two factors in the table; RULE. Multiply continually by as many tens less one, as there are figures in the given quantity; then multiply the last product by the figure in the left of the said quantity (if more than one;) again multiply the figure in the units place into the given price, and that in the tens place into the price of ten, &c. place the several products as in addition and their sum will be the answer.

HIS Rule is the reverse of compound multiplication, and teaches to divide several numbers of divers denominations; also to find the price of an integer when the quantity and its value are given. GENERAL RULE. Divide the first denomination on the left; multiply the remainder, if any, by the numbers of the second denomination in a unit of the first; and add the second to the product; divide the sum as before, &c. Note. In division of money, call each pound remaming two tens, and if there be ten in the shillings, add one, and continue the process. |
