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.
