In dividing by 10, 100, 1000, &c. when you cut off as many figures from the dividend, as there are cyphers in the divisor, your work is done; those figures, cut off at the right hand, are the remainder, and those on the left, the quotient, as above. Short Division is, when the divisor does not exceed 12. RULE. First, seek how often the divifor can be had in the first figure, or figures, of the dividend; which, when found, place place in the quotient; then, mentally, multiply your divifor by the figure placed in the quotient, and fubtract the product from the like number of the left hand figures of your dividend, and the units which remain, muft be accounted so many tens, which you must suppose to stand at the left hand of the next figure in the dividend, and to be reckoned with it; then, seek how often you can have your divisor in those two figures; but, if nothing remain, you must then feek how often your divifor is contained in the next figure, or figures, and thus proceed till you have done.

In the fecond method, dividing by 8, I remains, and by 9, 7 remains, I therefore multiply 7, the last remainder, by 8, adding in the 1, and they make 57, as before. 121)75323939 132)38473692 144)891376429732 Supplement to Contractions in Multiplication. r. The shortest method of multiplication, when the multiplier is any even part of 100, 1000, &c. is by divifion; for if the multiplicand be increased by a number of cyphers equal to the places in the multiplier, and a part RULE. of Multiply the quotient by the divisor; fubtract the product from the dividend, and the refult will be the true remainder. The Rule which is most commonly made use of, when the divifor is a composite number, is RULEII. Multiply the last remainder by the preceding divisor, or last but one, and to the product add the preceding remainder; multiply this fum by the next preceding divisor, and to the product add the next preceding remainder; and so on, till you have gone through all the divifors and remainders, to the first. of that product taken for the fame proportion, which the multiplier bears to I, and the fame number of cyphers annexed to it, the quotient will be the product. 125 1.
