Page 178 - Multiply the divisor, thus increased, by the last figure of the root; subtract the product from the dividend, and to the remainder bring down the next period for a new dividend.
Page 61 - Divide the first term of the dividend by the first term of the divisor, and write the result as the first term of the quotient.
Page 232 - Ratio is the quotient which arises from dividing one quantity by another of the same kind. Thus, the ratio of 2 to 6 is 3; the ratio of a to ma is m. REMARKS. — 1st In comparing two numbers or quantities by their quotient, the number expressing the ratio which the first bears to the second, will depend on which is made the standard of comparison.
Page 102 - Multiply the numerators together for a new numerator, and the denominators together for a new denominator.
Page 106 - ... by dividing the numerator of the dividend by the numerator of the divisor, and the denominator of the dividend by the denominator of the divisor.
