COMPOUND DIVISION,

TEACHES to find how often one number is contained in another of different denominations.

DIVISION OF FEDERAL MONEY.

Any sum in Federal Money may be divided as a whole number; for, if dollars and cents be written down as a simple number, the whole will be cents; and if the sum consists of dollars only, annex two cyphers to the dollars, and the whole will be cents; hence the folloys ing

GENERAL RULE.

Write down the given sum in cents, and divide as in whole numbers; the quotient will be the answer in cents

NOTE. If the cents in the given sum are less than 10, you must always place a cypher on their left, or in the ten's place of the cents, before you write them down.

EXAMPLES.

1. Divide 35 dollars 68 cents, by 41.

328

41)3568(87 the quotient in cents; and when there is any considerable remainder, you may annex a cypher to it, if you please, and divide it again, and you will have 287 the mills, &c.
