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:
“For in the division of the nations of the whole earth he set a ruler over every people; but Israel is the Lord’s portion: whom, being his firstborn, he nourisheth with discipline, and giving him the light of his love doth not forsake him. Therefore all their works are as the sun before him, and his eyes are continually upon their ways.”
—Apocrypha. Ecclesiasticus 17:17-9.
“There are only three kinds of people: those who serve God, having found him; others who are occupied in seeking him, not having found him; while the remainder live without seeking him and without having found him. The first are reasonable and happy; the last are foolish and unhappy; those between are unhappy and unreasonable.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
