The numbers giuen, must be placed in order as here adioyning, 〈 math 〉〈 math 〉 adding them in the vulgar maner of adding of whole numbers in this maner: The summe (by ye first Probleme of Arithme∣tick following) is 941504, which are (that which the signes aboue the numbers do shew) 941 (0) 5 (1) 0 (2) 4 (3). I say, they are the summe required. Demonstration: the
27 (0) 8 (1) 4 (2) 7 (3) giuen, make by the 3 Definition be∣fore 27 8/10 4/100 7/1000, together 27 847/1000, and by the same reason, the 37 (0) 8 (1) 7 (2) 5 (3) shall make 37 875/1000, and the 875 (0) 7 (1) 8 (2) 4 (3) will make 875 782/1000, which thrée num∣bers make by common addition of vulgar Arithmeticke 941 304/1000. But so much is the summe 941 (0) 5 (1) 0 (2) 4 (3): therefore it is the true summe to be demonstrated. Con∣clusion: Then Disme numbers being giuen to bee added, wee haue found their summe, which is the thing requi∣red.
Note, that if in the number giuen, there want some signes of their naturall order, the place of the defectant shal be filled. As for example, let the numbers giuen bee 8 (0) 5 (1) 6 (2) and 5 (0) 7 (2): 〈 math 〉〈 math 〉 in which, the latter wanted the signe of (1), in the place thereof shall 0 (1) bee put, take then for that latter number giuen 5 (0) 0 (1) 7 (2) adding them in this sort.
This aduertisement shall also serue in the thrée follow∣ing propositions, wherein the order of the defayling figures must be supplied, as was done in the former example.
