Abstract
Those who divide a number by a number want to know what will be attributed to one, as we said before in the division of integers595, whether the division is made by less or more than one. Now it is useful for those who want to divide fractions to know two things. The first is to know the number by the multiplication of which a fraction is redintegrated into one, the other is to know what ratio the unit has to an integer with a fraction.596
