Division of Numbers 1-9
In this section numbers 1,2,6,7,8,9 are divided by 10
Example:
Problem 3: Divide 6 loaves among 10 men
Each man recieves 1/2 1/10 loaves
Proof. Multiply 1/2 1/10 by 10
Do it thus.1 becomes 1/2 1/10
\ 2 becomes 1 1/5
4 becomes 2 1/3 1/15
\ 8 becomes 4 2/3 1/10 1/30
and then we can easily see that 4 + 1 + 1/5 + 2/3 + 1/10 + 1/30 = 6
