Reduction by Multiplication

Reduction by Multiplication* [?] to bring
a high denomination to an equivalent value in a
low denomination.

Multiply each descending denomination by as
many of the next lower denomination as make on in
that which you are about to reduce;-- thus proceed

that quotient by the next, &c. If the last quotient be
equal to the first multiplicand, the work is right.
