[Headnote: Chapter VII. Division.] [Sidenote: Definition of division. Dividend, Divisor, Quotient. How to set down your Sum. An example. Examples.] For to dyvyde oo nombre by a-nother, it is of .2. nombres p{ro}posed{e}, It is forto depart the moder nombre into as many p{ar}tis as ben of vnytees in the lasse nombre. And note wele that in makyng{e} of dyvysio{u}n ther ben .3. nombres necessary: that is to sey, the nombre to be dyvyded{e}; the nombre dyvydyng and the nombre exeant, other how oft, or quocient. Ay shall{e} the nombre that is to be dyvyded{e} be more, other at the lest even{e} w{i}t{h} the nombre the dyvysere, yf the nombre shall{e} be mad{e} by hole nombres. Therfor yf thow wolt any nombre dyvyde, write the nombre to be dyvyded{e} in þe ou{er}er bordur{e} by his differences, the dyviser{e} in the lower ordur{e} by his differences, so that the last of the dyviser be vnder the last of the nombre to be dyvyde, the next last vnder the next last, and so of the others, yf it may competently be done; as here:--
