The allotments are
also multiplied, and
the results are what
each heir receives
8 cannot be split evenly
between three heirs so
this will need multiplying
Note: Before explaining the different types of Ta]#|#, as a preliminary,
the different relationships between numbers are briefly explained.
Tam\thul Identical numbers e.g. 3 and 3.
4 can be split evenly
between two heirs
so this will be ignored
Tad\khul The greater number is a multiple of the lesser, e.g. 3 and 9.
Taw\fuk
Tab\yun
Both/all numbers are multiples of another number (any
number besides 1), e.g. 15, 21 and 114 are multiples of 3.
Neither number shares any common divisor with the other
(besides 1), e.g. 7, 8, 15 and 29.
Thereafter one should realise that there are seven different
relationships between numbers, in regards to how Ta]#|# may be
performed. Of these, three are between the heirs and their portions
and four are when there are more than one set of heirs whose
allotments are not divisible in whole numbers between them.
The three situations that are between heirs and their allotments are:
either (a) there are no problems of distributing the allotments or there
