Page 183 - Factoring is a special case of division, in which many or all of the divisors of a member are required; Evolution, a special case of factoring, in which one of several equal factors is required; and Common Divisor, a case of factoring in which some common factor of several numbers is required. In comparing numbers we observe we may pass from one to another of different species under the same genus, and thus we have Reduction. By Comparison we obtain Ratio, arithmetical and geometrical, from the first...

Page 182 - A LOGICAL OUTLINE OF ARITHMETIC. — One great error in our systems of elementary instruction is the lack of logical method. With the desire of lending a word toward the correction of this error, we present the following logical outline of Arithmetic. All numerical ideas begin with the unit. It is the origin, the basis of Arithmetic. The unit can be increased and divided, hence arise Numbers and Fractions. Every number is a synthesis, every fraction the result of an analysis.
