- Binary Arithmetic Operations – Division
Binary division is straightforward and easy to understand if you follow simple rules.
Similar to the decimal number system, binary division follows the four-step process:
- Divide
- Multiply
- Subtract
- Bring down
Remember these rules
- The dividend is divided by the divisor, and the answer is the quotient.
- Compare the divisor to the first digit in the dividend. If the divisor is the larger number, keep adding digits to the dividend until the divisor is the smaller number. (For example, if calculating 156 ÷ 2, we would compare 2 and 1, note that 2 > 1, and compare 2 to 15 instead.)

a. 1110 ÷ 111
b. 1010 ÷ 10
c. 1101001 ÷ 101two
