In this context, the "denomination" refers to the digit of the quotient currently being determined., mination you shall multiply it by the largest divisor. to be multi- And the number that is produced from the multiplication, plied by you shall take away from that [dividend] which you had left. those And so, which [arise] from multiplying the divisor and the others individually with the same denomination having been placed, multipli- cation you should subtract the result of the multiplication from whichever dividend is remaining. to carry out And what remains, you allow to stay in the place of the divi- of the dividend. Nevertheless, ded observe parts this order carefully so that if they are separated by one line from the dividends, they are received as parts of tens; if by two lines, as parts of tens original: decenis. This is likely a scribal error in the original manuscript for centenis (hundreds), as the text follows a standard decimal progression: tens, hundreds, thousands.; if by three, as parts of thousands; and so on with the others. Afterward, bringing back the divisors, carrying the largest divisor to the dividend as we said above; and so, placing the denominations and subtracting the remaining divisors from the parts left behind, when you recall the divisors to the seat of their proper location, you then put a limit original: m̄ nū nū. Likely a contraction for modum, meaning you "set a limit" or finish the operation. to the division. Firmly commit this also to memory concerning the placing of denominations: that...
