Division (digital) - 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.

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)

    For in the division of the nations of the whole earth he set a ruler over every people; but Israel is the Lord’s portion: whom, being his firstborn, he nourisheth with discipline, and giving him the light of his love doth not forsake him. Therefore all their works are as the sun before him, and his eyes are continually upon their ways.
    Apocrypha. Ecclesiasticus 17:17-9.

    Commerce is unexpectedly confident and serene, alert, adventurous, and unwearied. It is very natural in its methods withal, far more so than many fantastic enterprises and sentimental experiments, and hence its singular success.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
