to examine what the number is composed of; it must be composed of the product of one number by another. Relate one of the two numbers to twenty-four if it is less than it, and take the same proportion from the other number; the result is for each carat. If it is more than twenty-four, divide it by twenty-four, and whatever results from the division, multiply it by the other number; the result is his share. An example of this is six hundred if you wish to divide it. You know that it is composed of twenty multiplied by thirty. Relate twenty to twenty-four, which is half and one-third of it. Take half of thirty and its third, which is twenty-five; this is the share of a carat. If you divide thirty by twenty-four, the result is one and a quarter. Multiply it, and it will be twenty-five, as we said. The second way is to look for a number which, when multiplied by twenty-four, equals or approaches the dividend. If there is a remainder, multiply it by another number until what remains is less than the divisor, then add the number that you multiplied it to, and relate that remainder to the divisor, and add it to the number, and that will be the share of the carat. Its example in our issue is to multiply twenty by twenty-four, which is four hundred and eighty. Then multiply five by twenty-four, which is one hundred and twenty, and add the five to the twenty, and that will be the shares of the carat. Once you know the shares of the carat, look at everyone who has shares and give him one carat for every share of the carat's shares. If there remains for him shares that do not reach a carat, relate them to the shares of the carat and give him that proportion of it. If there is a fraction in the shares of the carat, expand it into the type of the fraction. Then, everyone who has shares based on the total number of shares will have carats based on the denominator of the fraction, and you multiply the remainder of his shares by the denominator of the fraction and relate them to it. An example of this is a husband, two parents, and two daughters. The mother died and left a mother, a husband, a full sister, two paternal sisters, and two maternal sisters. The first is out of fifteen, and the second is out of twenty. Multiply the common divisor (wafq) of one of them by the other, which is one hundred and fifty, and the share of the carat.
