In this example, when we wish to find the quotient of the first term of the dividend by the first term of the divisor, we first consider that a3 divided by a, gives a2; we then divide the quantities which stand at the left of the vertical line in the dividend, and are understood to be multiplied by a3, by the quantities multiplied into a in the divisor; the quotient is that part of the general quotient which is multiplied by a2. The partial quotient so obtained is then multiplied into the whole of the divisor, and the product subtracted from the whole dividend.

In the preceding example, we take the quantity 1263-29bc + 15c2, which is multiplied by a3, and divide it by 36 - 5c, which in the divisor is multiplied by a.

Performing the operation, we have 4b-3c; and since a3, divided by a, gives a2, this quantity is to be multiplied by

4ba2.

a; and hence the first term of the quotient is

-30

After the multiplication of the divisor by this term, and the subtraction of the product from the dividend, we have, for the first term of the new dividend, certain quantities multiplied into a2; a2 divided by a gives a; and dividing the quantities multiplied by a by those multiplied by a, we have,

302 a is therefore the second term of the quotient. Mul

tiplying this into the whole divisor, and subtracting the product from the second dividend, 0 remains; and hence the division is completed.

(17.) We shall now proceed to show some of the applications of algebra, in investigating the properties of numbers. 1. Suppose we have two numbers, the sum of which is 48, and their difference 10, and it is required to find those numbers.
