Therefore, the quotient is either 1 or 0. The division algorithm performs either an addition or subtraction based on the signs of the divisor and the partial remainder.

I previously dismissed long division as a meaningless math procedure. Am I backpedaling now in response to readers' comments?

For instance, he tells us the ARM processor used on the Raspberry Pi doesn’t have a divide instruction. Without hardware division you’re left to implement a binary division algorithm.
