When the decimal places in the divisor exceed 

 those in the dividend, annex as many ciphers to the 

 dividend as -will equal the decimal places in the di- 

 visor, and divide as in whole numbers. The quotient 

 will be a vi^hole number. In example d we added 

 2 ciphers to the dividend, giving the same number 

 of decimal places in both dividend and divisor. 



(e). Divide .375 by .016 

 .015). 375 (25. Ans.

 When the number of decimal places are the same 

 in both dividend and divisor, as in example (e), the 

 quotient is a whole number. 

 (f). Divide 2666. by 141.

When, as in the above example, the division has 

 been carried on until all of the figures in the divi- 

 dend have been used, annex ciphers and point off 

 as many decimal places in the quotient as the deci- 

 mal places in the dividend exceed those in the di-
