Extract

This method of division is related to several methods which have been published from time to time. The advantage of the method given below is the advantage that iteration has, of substituting a repetition of a number of easy operations for a more difficult one, and the fact that at each operation the work starts at the beginning so that errors (except in the last operation) are automatically corrected.
