Question 1

What does the Non-Restoring Division Algorithm eliminate to improve efficiency?

  • Restoring Step
  • Quotient Calculation
  • Remainder Adjustment

💡 Hint: Think about what step is added in the restoring method that is omitted here.

Question 2

True or False: The quotient is updated based on the result of both addition and subtraction in the Non-Restoring Division.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Review how the algorithm processes the remainder after each arithmetic operation.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given the dividend 25 and divisor 6, execute the Non-Restoring Division algorithm step-by-step, detailing the values in the registers after every major step.

💡 Hint: Focus on keeping track of the changes in each iteration as you go through the algorithm.

Question 2

Compare the performance of the Non-Restoring Division Algorithm with the Restoring Division Algorithm in terms of operation count when dividing a large number (e.g., 1024 divided by 40). Provide reasoning for your observations.

💡 Hint: Consider counting operations such as shifts, additions, and subtractions in both algorithms.
