...the undivided part of the true dividend, must be the true remainder. RULE. — Cut off from the right of the dividend as many figures as there are ciphers in the divisor. The remaining 41—42 figures will express the quotient, and the figures cut off will express the remainder.... | |

...the divisor is 10, 100, 1000, etc., the quo. tient is obtained, at once, by cutting off at the right of the dividend as many figures as there are ciphers in the divisor. For, since figures are multiplied by 10 by annexing one cipher, by 100 by annexing two ciphers, etc.,... | |
