Unsigned Divide

Encoding

EncodingOperand
mModRM.r/m[rw]

Description

The DIV instruction performs an unsigned divide by the operand. For 8-bit operand size, the dividend is located AH, and the quotient is stored AL and the remainder in AH. For non-8-bit operand sizes, the located in the rDX:rAX register pair, and the quotient is stored in rAX and the remainder in rDX.

Non-integral results are truncated ("chopped") towards zero. Overflow is indicated by the #DE exception rather than EFLAGS.CF.

Operation

public void DIV(U8 divisor)
{
    if (divisor is 0)
        #DE;

    U16 al = AX / divisor;
    U16 ah = AX % divisor;
    if (ah > 0xFF)
        #DE;
    AL = (U8)al;
    AH = (U8)ah;
}
public void DIV(U16 divisor)
{
    if (divisor is 0)
        #DE;

    U32 ax = DX:AX / divisor;
    U32 dx = DX:AX % divisor;
    if (ax > 0xFFFF)
        #DE;
    AX = (U16)ax;
    DX = (U16)dx;
}
public void DIV(U32 divisor)
{
    if (divisor is 0)
        #DE;

    U64 eax = EDX:EAX / divisor;
    U64 edx = EDX:EAX % divisor;
    if (eax > 0xFFFF_FFFF)
        #DE;
    EAX = (U32)eax;
    EDX = (U32)edx;
}
public void DIV(U64 divisor)
{
    if (divisor is 0)
        #DE;

    U128 rax = RDX:RAX / divisor;
    U128 rdx = RDX:RAX % divisor;
    if (rax > 0xFFFF_FFFF_FFFF_FFFF)
        #DE;
    RAX = (U64)rax;
    RDX = (U64)rdx;
