CASE III* 

 IFhen the divisor and dividend are both compaund quantities, 



* . RULE. 



1. Range the terms according to the powers of some 

 letter in both of them, placing the highest power of it 

 first, and the rest in order. 



2. Divide the -first term of the dividend by the first term 

 of the divisor, and place the resuft in the quotient. 



3. Multiply the whole divisor by the quotient term, and 

 subtract the product from the dividend. 



4. To the remainder bring down as- many terms of the 

 dividend as are requisite for the next operation ; call the 

 sum a dividual^ and divide as before j and so on, as in 

 Arithmetic.
