Zusammenfassung:Binary division is performed by multiplying the reciprocal of a divisor by a dividend. The quotient is generated at the same time as the reciprocal of the divisor, the reciprocal being generated by a method and apparatus that multiplies the divisor by an evolving multiplier that forces the product to be a series of binary ones. Generation of the evolving multiplier is terminated at the end of one of its repeating periods, the multiplier thereby equaling the reciprocal of the divisor in all bits generated.
