Integer Division (unsigned) With Remainder
The following algorithm, the binary version of the famous long division, will divide N by D, placing the quotient in Q and the remainder in R. All values are treated as unsigned integers.]]
if D == 0 then throw DivisionByZeroException end
Q := 0 initialize quotient and remainder to zero
R := 0
for i = n-1...0 do " where n is number of bits " R := R << 1 left-shift R by 1 bit R(0) := N(i) set the least-significant bit of R equal to bit i of the numerator if R >= D then R = R - D Q(i) := 1 end
end

Famous quotes containing the words division and/or remainder:
“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 natures pride is, now, a withered daffodil.”
—Ben Jonson (15721637)
“Then I had only prisoners thoughts. I awaited the daily walk which I took in the yard, or my lawyers visit. I managed the remainder of my time very well. I have often thought that if I was made to live in a dry tree trunk, without any other occupation but to watch the flower of the sky above my head, I would have gradually gotten used to it.”
—Albert Camus (19131960)
