    • 1920, Цыгельман Наум Львович, translated by Jurka Listapad, Аснаўныя пачаткі арытмэтыкі, Minsk: Друкарня Я. А. Грынблята, page 16:
      Каб пераверыць дзяленьне, трэба дзельнік памножыць на дзель і да множыва дабавіць астачу, калі яна ёсьць; калі ўсе дзееньні зроблены праўдзіва, дык дастаецца абавязкова дзельны.
      Kab pjeravjerycʹ dzjaljenʹnje, treba dzjelʹnik pamnóžycʹ na dzjelʹ i da mnóžyva dabavicʹ astaču, kali jana josʹcʹ; kali ŭsje dzjejenʹni zróbljeny praŭdziva, dyk dastajecca abavjazkóva dzjelʹny.
      To verify division, the divisor must be multiplied by the quotient, and the remainder, if any, must be added to the product; if all operations are performed correctly, the result will be always the dividend.
