above division chain. Thus the croeper-like chain of figures required for the solution of this latter combined problem is obtained. This chain is to be dealt with as before from below upwards, and the resulting number is to be divided as bofore by the first divisor in this last division chunin. The reinniudor obtained in this operation is then) to be multiplied by the divisor (rolated to tho 'larger grunp-value, and to the rusuliing produot, this) larger group-value is to be addel. (Thus the value of the requireil multiplier of the riven group-lumber is obtained ; aud this will satisfy both the specified distributions taken together into consideration).
Exemples in illustration thereof.
116. Into the bright and refreshing outskirts of a forrat, which were full of merous trece with their branches bent down with the weight of flowers and fruits, trees such ins jambit troos, limo troes, plantairs, aroca pulms, jack trors, dute-palme, hintäla trees, palmyras, punniyu trees and mango troos (into the outskirts, the varions quarters wherruf were filled with the many sounds of crown of parrots and cuckoos found nonr aprings containing lotuses with bees ronming about them into anoh forest outskirts) a number of wears travellers entored with joy.
117. (There were) 6:3 (numerically equal) leaps of plantain fruits put together and combined with 7 (more) of those same fruits; and these were (qually) distributed among 23 travollers Ho as to leave no rimainder. You tell me now) the (numorical) measur, of a heap of plantains.)
1184. Agein, in relation to 12 (numerically oqunl) heaps of pomegranates, which, after having len put together and
Hy applying the principle of vullikd.hullikdra in the lot equation, the valor of c in obtainet, and thence the value of v can be mwily arrived at
It is seen from this that, when, in order to find out, we deal with l, and , in nccordance with the kufikira method, the choda or the divinor to on taken in relation to this A r the least common naltiple of the diviso in the first,
two ypatione.
