Division Algorithm - Slow Division Methods

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.

    Angels may be very excellent sort of folk in their own way, but we, poor mortals in our present state, would probably find them precious slow company.
    Jerome K. Jerome (1859–1927)

    For a small child there is no division between playing and learning; between the things he or she does “just for fun” and things that are “educational.” The child learns while living and any part of living that is enjoyable is also play.
    Penelope Leach (20th century)

    The methods by which a trade union can alone act, are necessarily destructive; its organization is necessarily tyrannical.
