÷÷÷÷
Division
An instruction containing the operation "
÷÷÷÷
" directs the computer to divide the contents of A
register (dividend) by the contents of the selected register (divisor) and is executed in two
phases:
1ST PHASE
Transfer the contents of the addressed register to M, while retaining them
in the original register.
2ND PHASE
Divide the contents of A by the contents of M, obtaining in A the quotient
truncated according to the setting of the Decimal Wheel. The decimally
correct fractional remainder is in R. M contains the divisor.

An example of using this instruction manually would be (assume the dividend (7.00) is in the
b (B/) register and the divisor (3.00) is in the B register):
Transfer the dividend to the A register by depressing keys “B/
“. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . b
Divide the dividend by the divisor by. depressing keys B

The quotient will print automatically only when the instructionis performed manually. 2.33 A
It should be noted that the remainder is in the R register and will be printed by depressing the
keys R
