DIVISION OF WHOLE NUMBERS.

SIMPLE DIVISION teaches to find how many times one whole number is contained in another; and also wha remains; and is a concise way of performing several sub tractions.

Four principal parts are to be noticed in Division:

1. The Dividend, or number given to be divided. 2. The Divisor, or number given to divide by.

3. The Quotient, or answer to the question, which shows how many times the divisor is contained in the dividend. 4. The Remainder, which is always less than the divisor and of the same name with the Dividend.
