Σελίδα 87 - To reduce fractions to the least common denominator. The Least Common Denominator of two or more fractions is the least denominator to which they can all be reduced, and it must be the least common multiple of the lowest denominators.

Σελίδα 81 - To reduce fractions to their lowest terms. A fraction is in its lowest terms when its numerator and denominator are prime to each other; that is, when both terms have no common divisor. 1. Reduce the fraction -|| to its lowest terms.

Σελίδα 42 - If there lie a remainder after dividing any figure, regard it as prefixed to the figure of the next lower order in the dividend, and divide as before. IV. Should any figure or part...

Σελίδα 318 - 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.
