remainder. But that you may fee the whole 
operation of Divifion, we will take an ex- 
ample of more figures.

I begin by afking, how many times 8 is 
contained in 76? Recollecting that 9 times 
8 make 72, I write 9 in the quotient and 
72 under 76, which 72 I fubtract from 76, 
and drawing a line acrofs, I write under it 
the remainder 4, to which I bring down the 
figure 3 from the dividend. I now afk, how 
often 8 in 43 ? 5 times 8 make 40, which 
being fubtrac"led from 43, there remains 3. 
To this 3 I annex the laft figure of the di- 
vidend. I then afk, how often 8 in 34? 4 
times 8 is 32: I therefore write 4 in the 
quotient, and fubtra&ing 32 from 34, the 
remainder is 2. 
Hence,
