Subtract the finite part of the decimal, (i. e., the part of the number to the right of the v which does not repeat), from the whole of said decimal, that is, from the whole of that part of the number which is to the right of the v; ft. Taking thereupon the remainder thus obtained for a dividend, draw a horizontal line beneath it, subscribing for a divisor a number expressed by as many 9's as there were originally places in the circle with as many O's to the right of them as there were originally places in the said finite part of the said "decimal"; y. Multiply whatever of the number was originally to the left of the delta by this divisor and add the product to the dividend already found to complete it. 90. Exercises. 1.
