III. Write down the units of this number under the units of the rest, and keep in memory the number of tens. IV. Add together all the numbers in the column of tens, remembering to take in (or carry, as it is called) the tens which you were told to recollect in III., and divide this number of tens into tens and hundreds. Thus, if 335 tens be the number obtained, part this into 33 hundreds and 5 tens. V. Place the number of tens under the tens, and remember the number of hundreds. VI. Proceed in this way through every column, and at the last column, instead of separating the number you obtain into two parts, write it all down before the rest. EXAMPLE.--What is 1805 + 36 + 19727 + 3 + 1474 + 2008 1805 36 19727 3 1474 2008 ----- 25053 The addition of the units’ line, or 8 + 4 + 3 + 7 + 6 + 5, gives 33, that is, 3 tens and 3 units. Put 3 in the units’ place, and add together the line of tens, taking in at the beginning the 3 tens which were created by the addition of the units’ line. That is, find 3 + 0 + 7 + 2 + 3 + 0, which gives 15 for the number of tens; that is, 1 hundred and 5 tens. Add the line of hundreds together, taking care to add the 1 hundred which arose in the addition of the line of tens; that is, find 1 + 0 + 4 + 7 + 8, which gives exactly 20 hundreds, or 2 thousands and no hundreds. Put a cipher in the hundreds’ place (because, if you do not, the next figure will be taken for hundreds instead of thousands), and add the figures in the thousands’ line together, remembering the 2 thousands which arose from the hundreds’ line; that is, find 2 + 2 + 1 + 9 + 1, which gives 15 thousands, or 1 ten thousand and 5 thousand. Write 5 under the line of thousands, and collect the figures in the line of tens of thousands, remembering the ten thousand which arose out of the thousands’ line; that is, find 1 + 1, or 2 ten thousands. Write 2 under the ten thousands’ line, and the operation is completed. 34. As an exercise in addition, you may satisfy yourself that what I now say of the following square is correct. The numbers in every row, whether reckoned upright, or from right to left, or from corner to corner, when added together give the number 24156.
