SIMPLE DIVISION. 



Siifipk Dkision tcachetli to find how often one nu-m- 

 ber is .contained in another of the same denomination, 

 and tlicreby performs the work of many subtractions. 



Tlie number to be divided Is called the dividend. 



Tlie number you divide by is called the divisor. 



The number of times the dividend contains the divisoy 

 is called the quotient. 



If the dividend contains the divisor any number of 

 times, and some part or parts over, those parts are called 

 the remaindej\ 



RULE.* 



I. On the right and left of the dividend, draw a 

 curved line, and write the divisor on the left .hand, and 

 the quotient, as it arises, on the right. 



2. Find 



* According to the rule, we resolve the dividend into parts, 

 and find, by trial, the number of times the divisor is contained 

 in each of those parts ; the only thing then, which remains to be 

 proved, i?, that the several figures of the quotient, taken as one 

 number, according to the order in which they are placed, is the 

 true quotient of the whole dividend by the divisor ; which may 

 be thus demonstrated : 



Demon. The complete value of the first part of the dividend, 

 is, by the nature of notation, 10, 100, or looo, &c. times the 



value
