Notation and Basic Equations

4 Notation z Dividend z 2k-1 z 2k-2... z 2 z 1 z 0 d Divisor d k-1 d k-2... d 1 d 0 q Quotient q k-1 q k-2... q 1 q 0 s Remainder s k-1 s k-2... s 1 s 0 (s = z - dq)

5 Basic Equations of Division z = d q + s sign(s) = sign(z) | s | < | d | z > 0 0  s < | d | z < 0 - | d | < s  0

6 Unsigned Integer Division Overflow z = z H 2 k + z L < d 2 k Condition for no overflow (i.e. q fits in k bits): z = q d + s < (2 k -1) d + d = d 2 k z H < d Must check overflow because obviously the quotient q can also be 2k bits. For example, if the divisor d is 1, then the quotient q is the dividend z, which is 2k bits

7 Sequential Integer Division Basic Equations s (0) = z s (j) = 2 s (j-1) - q k-j (2 k d) for j=1..k s (k) = 2 k s

8 Sequential Integer Division Justification s (1) = 2 z - q k-1 (2 k d) s (2) = 2(2 z - q k-1 (2 k d)) - q k-2 (2 k d) s (3) = 2(2(2 z - q k-1 (2 k d)) - q k-2 (2 k d)) - q k-3 (2 k d)... s (k) = 2(... 2(2(2 z - q k-1 (2 k d)) - q k-2 (2 k d)) - q k-3 (2 k d)... - q 0 (2 k d) = = 2 k z - (2 k d) (q k-1 2 k-1 + q k-2 2 k-2 + q k-3 2 k-3 + … + q ) = = 2 k z - (2 k d) q = 2 k (z - d q) = 2 k s

Fractional Division

11 Unsigned Fractional Division z frac Dividend.z -1 z z -(2k-1) z -2k d frac Divisor.d -1 d d -(k-1) d -k q frac Quotient.q -1 q q -(k-1) q -k s frac Remainder.000…0s -(k+1)... s -(2k-1) s -2k k bits

12 Integer vs. Fractional Division For Integers: z = q d + s  2 -2k z 2 -2k = (q 2 -k ) (d 2 -k ) + s (2 -2k ) z frac = q frac d frac + s frac For Fractions: where z frac = z 2 -2k d frac = d 2 -k q frac = q 2 -k s frac = s 2 -2k

13 Unsigned Fractional Division Overflow Condition for no overflow: z frac < d frac

14 Sequential Fractional Division Basic Equations s (0) = z frac s (j) = 2 s (j-1) - q -j d frac for j=1..k 2 k · s frac = s (k) s frac = 2 -k · s (k)

15 Sequential Fractional Division Justification s (1) = 2 z frac - q -1 d frac s (2) = 2(2 z frac - q -1 d frac ) - q -2 d frac s (3) = 2(2(2 z frac - q -1 d frac ) - q -2 d frac ) - q -3 d frac... s (k) = 2(... 2(2(2 z frac - q -1 d frac ) - q -2 d frac ) - q -3 d frac... - q -k d frac = = 2 k z frac - d frac (q -1 2 k-1 + q -2 2 k-2 + q -3 2 k-3 + … + q -k 2 0 ) = = 2 k z frac - d frac 2 k (q q q … + q -k 2 -k ) = = 2 k z frac - (2 k d frac ) q frac = 2 k (z frac - d frac q frac ) = 2 k s frac

Restoring Unsigned Integer Division

17 Restoring Unsigned Integer Division s (0) = z for j = 1 to k if 2 s (j-1) - 2 k d > 0 q k-j = 1 s (j) = 2 s (j-1) - 2 k d else q k-j = 0 s (j) = 2 s (j-1)

18 Fig Example of restoring unsigned division.

19 Fig Shift/subtract sequential restoring divider.

Signed Integer Division

21 Signed Integer Division z d | z || d |sign(z)sign(d) | q || s | sign(s) = sign(z) sign(q) = + - Unsigned division sign(z) = sign(d) sign(z)  sign(d) qs

22 Examples of division with signed operands z = 5d = 3  q = 1s = 2 z = 5d = –3  q = –1s = 2 z = –5d = 3  q = –1s = –2 z = –5d = –3  q = 1s = –2 Magnitudes of q and s are unaffected by input signs Signs of q and s are derivable from signs of z and d Examples of Signed Integer Division
