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 the slow river
meets the tide,
a red swan lifts red wings
and darker beak.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“Slow, slow, fresh fount, keep time with my salt tears;
Yet slower yet, oh faintly gentle springs:
List to the heavy part the music bears,
“Woe weeps out her division when she sings.”
Droop herbs and flowers;
Fall grief in showers;
“Our beauties are not ours”:
Oh, I could still,
Like melting snow upon some craggy hill,
Drop, drop, drop, drop,
Since nature’s pride is, now, a withered daffodil.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
“The greatest part of our faults are more excusable than the methods that are commonly taken to conceal them.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
