DIVISION 54
91, and subtract as before; you find the remainder to be 15. Then bring down the 2, the last figure of the dividend, and place it on the right of the 15, making 152. Then inquire how many times 19 is contained in 152; try it at 8 times, and multiply 19 by 8; this gives a product of 152. Subtract as before: there being no remainder, you have 248 as the quotient.
S48. RULE. Write the Divisor on the left of the Dividend, draw a curved line between them and also draw a curved line on the right of the Dividend.
Inquire how many times the Divisor is contained in the fewest figures on the left of the Dividend that will contain it; write the figure indicating the number of times on the right of the Dividend for the first figure of the Quotient.
Multiply the Divisor by the quotient figure, write the product under the figures of the Dividend that you are dividing and subtract the product from these figures.
If there is a remainder write it down, and bring down the next figure of the Dividend, and place it on the right of this remainder.
Then inquire how many times the divisor is contained in this new number, and write the number of times on the right of the first figure of the Quotient; multiply the Divisor by this figure, and subtract the product from the number divided.
Bring down the third figure of the Dividend and place it on the right of the remainder, and proceed as before until all the figures of the Dividend are divided.
If at the last there is a remainder, place it on the right of the Quotient as in Short Division 44.
If when a figure is brought down, the number thus formed is too small to contain the Divisor,write a naught in the Quotient, and bring down another figure from the Dividend. If it is still too small, write another naught in the Quotient, and bring down another figure, and so on until you get a number large enough to contain the divisor.
Thus proceed until all the figures of the dividend are divided.
