APPARATUS FOR DIVIDING OF TWO FIGURES

摘要

Disclosure is made of a method for dividing two numbers, whereby the numbers are converted to the binary code, and there is formed an address code of three digits of the dividend (the or remainder) by determining the position of the highest-order significant digit in the three high-order digits of the divisor. The address thus formed serves to produce three digits of the remainder, i.e. a digit corresponding to the highest-order significant digit of the divisor code and two adjacent higher-order digits. The three digits of the remainder are analyzed and, depending upon the result of the analysis, the code of either the single, or doubled, or trebled divisor is subtracted from the remainder code, whereby the next two quotient code digits are produced.
