COMPOUND DIVISION.

COMPOUND DIVISION teaches to find how often one number is contained in another of different denominations.

RULE. Place the numbers as in Simple Division. Begin at the left hand, and divide each denomination by the divisor, setting the quotients under their respective dividends; but if there be a remainder in dividing any of the denominations except the lowest, find how many of the next lower denomination it is equal to; and add it to the number, if any, which was in this denomination before; divide this sum as usual, and thus proceed, until the whole is finished.

The method of proof is the same as in Simple Division.
