BasicsBasics
The abacus is prepared for use by placing The abacus is prepared for use by placing it flat on a table or one's lap and pushing it flat on a table or one's lap and pushing all the beads on both the upper and lower all the beads on both the upper and lower decks away from the beam. The beads are decks away from the beam. The beads are manipulated with either the index finger or manipulated with either the index finger or the thumb of one hand. the thumb of one hand.
The right-most column is the ones column; the The right-most column is the ones column; the next adjacent to the left is the tens column; the next adjacent to the left is the tens column; the next adjacent to the left is the hundreds column, next adjacent to the left is the hundreds column, and so on. and so on.
Floating point calculations are performed by Floating point calculations are performed by designating a space between 2 columns as the designating a space between 2 columns as the decimal-point and all the rows to the right of that decimal-point and all the rows to the right of that space represent fractional portions while all the space represent fractional portions while all the rows to the left represent whole number digits rows to the left represent whole number digits
Bead ValuesBead Values
Each bead in the Each bead in the upper deckupper deck has a value has a value of of 55; each bead in the ; each bead in the lower decklower deck has a has a value of value of 11..
Beads are considered counted, when Beads are considered counted, when moved moved towardstowards the beam that separates the beam that separates the two decks. the two decks.
CountingCounting
After 5 beads are counted in the lower After 5 beads are counted in the lower deck, the result is "carried" to the upper deck, the result is "carried" to the upper deck; after both beads in the upper deck deck; after both beads in the upper deck are counted, the result (10) is then carried are counted, the result (10) is then carried to the left-most adjacent column. to the left-most adjacent column.
