SIMPLE SUBTRACTION

Teacheth to take a less number from a greater of the fame denomination, and thereby to fhew the difference.

SIMPLE MULTIPLICATION

Is a compendious way of adding numbers of the fame name.
The number to be multiplied is called the multiplicand.
The number which multiplies is called the multiplier.
The number arifing from the operation is called the product.

Teacheth to find how often one number is contained in another of

the fame name.

The number given to be divided, is called the dividend.

The number by which to divide, is called the divifor.

The number of times the divifor is contained in the dividend is

called the quotient.

The remainder, if there be any, will be less than the divifor.

PROOF.

Multiply the quotient by the divifor; to the product add the remainder, and the fum "will be equal to the dividend, if the work be right.

When the divifor is a compound number, that is, if any two figures, being multiplied together, will make that number, then divide the dividend by one of thofe figures, and the first quotient by the other figure, and it will then give the quotient required. But as it fometimes happens that there is a remainder to each of the quo tients, and neither of them the true one, it may be found by this RULE. Multiply the firft divifor by the laft remainder, and to the product add the firft remainder, which will give the true one.
