DIVISION. 58
and thus makes the value denoted tenfold. Now, if we reverse the probess, and cut off the right-hand figure of the dividend by a line, we remove each remaining figure one place to the right, and consequently diminish the value denoted the same as dividing by 19. The figures on the left of the line are the quotient, and the one on the right is the remainder, which may be written over the divisor, and annexed to the right of the quotient, thus, 800 Hence the share of each man is 35 | 6 dollars.
2. Divide 6430 dollars equally among 100 men; what will each man have.
1.100) 64 39 Quotient 61, 39 Remainder. Or thus, 64 | 39
If we cut off the
two right hand figures
of the dividend
by a line we remove
each of the remaining
figures two places
to the right, and diminish their value the same as
dividing by 100. The figures of the dividend on the
left of the line become the quotient, and the two on the
right become the remainder. As in the foregoing example
this may be written over the divisor and annexed
to the quotient. Hence each man will get 64 39/100 dollars.
Read sixty-four and thirty-nine one hundredthis dollars.
So of all numbers where the divisor is with any number
of naughts.
52. Rule.—Write the divisor and dividend as in short division.
Cut off all the naughts from the divisor by a line. Then cut off as many figures on the right of the dividend as there are naughts cut off from the divisor.
The figures in the dividend on the left of the separating line will be the quotient, and the figures on the right of that line will be the remainder.
