If such Equation be cncombred with fractions they are all removed at once, by multiplying most conveniently, b the least; number that is divisible by the Denominators of fnc fractions, hence also the infinite Series before mentioned (and others) are reduce able to Lo arithmg. 26 Where IE nations have all tieir terms adfecfted with the Eimefign boili 'tor -) Mn Nwvtffn and Mr- Gregor] deceased have atlirmed they are all reduce able to tome pure high power, which is of singular use in the infinite Series. And a Learned ivrman where this cannot be done, hath afiertcd ierted that they may be reduced to a higher power, with a variable Coellicient. which is the root fought with ¥lCOIll° adi lend or fubd- icend.
