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.

An increasing number of people are interested in good relations with the South.... Two ways are open to succeed in the South: 1. A division of the white voters. 2. Education of the ignorant. Bloody-shirt utterances prevent division.”
