Improved methods of operating a digital data processor to perform binary division include estimating reciprocals of at least selected divisors based on value accessed from a look-up table. For divisors in a first numerical range, the estimation can be based on a value stored in a first look-up table at an index defined by the divisor. For divisors in a second numerical range, the estimation can be based on an index that is a bitwise-shifted function of the divisor. The methods can be applied to scalar and vector binary division.
