The value of 100 lbs. of any article will be just as many dollars as the article is cents a pound. For 100 lb. at 1 cent per lb. 100 cents=1 dollar. = 100 lb. of beef at 4 cents a lb. comes to 400 cents=4 dollars, &c. DIVISION OF WHOLE NUMBERS. SIMPLE DIVISION teaches to find how many times one whole number is contained in another; and also what remains; and is a concise way of performing seve⚫ ral subtractions. Four principal parts are to be noticed in Division: 3. The Quotient, or answer to the question, which shows how many times the divisor is contained in the dividend. 21. yke n. der. 4. The Remainder, which is always less than the dior, and of the same name with the Dividend. RULE. st, seek how many times the divisor is contained in of the left hand figures of the dividend as are that the ay, (that is, and the greatest figure 22.isor can be multiplied by, so as to produce a product it shall not exceed the part of the dividend used) when nd, place the figure in the quotient; multiply the disor by this quotient figure; place the product under 1. pat part of the dividend used; then subtract it therethan th, and bring down the next figure of the dividend to 2. Wright hand of the remainder; after which, you must and thek, multiply and subtract, till you have brought down 3.ery figure of the dividend. together ROOF. Multiply the divisor and quotient to how far w nother method which some make ue of to prne på s follows: viz. Add the remainder and e several quotient figures multiplied the divis together, according to the order in which they stand in the work; and this sum, when the work is right will be equal to the dividend. A third method of proof by excess of nines is as follows, viz. 1. Cas. the nines out of the divisor and place the excess on the left hand. 2. Do the same with the quotient and place it on the right hand. 5. Multiply these two figures together, and add their product to the remainder, and reject the nines and place the excess at top. 4. Cast the nines out of the dividend and place the excess at bottom. NOTE. If the sum is right the top and botton be alike. Divisor, Div.Quotient. 61)28609(469 472)251104(532 9.

When there are cyphers at the right hand of the divisor; 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 rede mainder (if any) annex those figures cut off from the divind, and you will have the true remainder.
