Abstract
Similarly to the chapter dedicated to the multiplication operation, this chapter begins with the presentation of the fundamental methods for binary division. In the same unitary manner used throughout the entire book, the synthesis of a sequential device for division is described, based on the non-restoring procedure for unsigned binary integer numbers. The description of the combinational array structures follows, which are favorable with respect to the hardware implementations of the binary division operation. Solutions are given for dividing signed fractional binary numbers based on the non-restoring procedure, respectively, for dividing unsigned binary integer numbers based on the restoring procedure. A distinct section is dedicated to the SRT procedures for binary division, both for radix-2 and for radix-4. The chapter concludes with a section dedicated to the division methods based on rapid convergence.
