Now if we add a cipher to the dividend , 1 , it becomes 10 tenths ; ( 126 ) and 10
tenths divided by 2 , the quotient is 0 . 5 . ... Annex ciphers continually to the
numcrator , and divide by the denominator , so long as there shall be a remainder
, or ...

Page 115 - Multiply the divisor, thus augmented, by the last figure of the root, and subtract the product from the dividend, and to the remainder bring down the next period for a new dividend.
