ASM Newbie Question: 10/6 Byte Division

[Brazilian Fan]

Hi, I am new here and I got a newbie ASM Question:

How to divide, say, a 10 by 6 bytes number if the DIV (or IDIV) opcode only supports a 8 by 4 Bytes division?

Thanks in advance

One way would be to simply use the same algorithm you used in grade-school for long division.

Extended precision math can get tricky. Here's a link to a website that includes source and documentation:
