Slow Division Methods
Slow division methods are all based on a standard recurrence equation:
where:
- Pj = the partial remainder of the division
- R = the radix
- q n − (j + 1) = the digit of the quotient in position n-(j+1), where the digit positions are numbered from least-significant 0 to most significant n − 1
- n = number of digits in the quotient
- D = the denominator.

Famous quotes containing the words slow, division and/or methods:
“Where belief is painful we are slow to believe.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
“Affection, indulgence, and humor alike are powerless against the instinct of children to rebel. It is essential to their minds and their wills as exercise is to their bodies. If they have no reasons, they will invent them, like nations bound on war. It is hard to imagine families limp enough always to be at peace. Wherever there is character there will be conflict. The best that children and parents can hope for is that the wounds of their conflict may not be too deep or too lasting.”
—New York State Division of Youth Newsletter (20th century)
“If you want to know the taste of a pear, you must change the pear by eating it yourself.... If you want to know the theory and methods of revolution, you must take part in revolution. All genuine knowledge originates in direct experience.”
—Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
