The student need not repeat the rows of figures so far as they come under one another: thus, it is not necessary to repeat 190356. But he must use his own discretion as to how much it would be safe for him to omit. I have set down the whole process here as a guide.

The following examples will serve for exercise:

    1. 2x³ - 100x - 7 = 0
  • x = 7·10581133.
    1. x⁴ + x³ + x² + x = 6000
  • x = 8·531437726.
