   | Hi   
   |    I am looking for references on how to support general 32 bit   
   | integer division (not just invariants) on hardware without dedicated   
   | integer-division support and 64 bit floating point support. However   
   | there is 32 bit floating point support and dedicated hardware to   
   | support 32 bit math functions such as logarithm and exponential. Can   
   | someone please point me to references. I realize this question has   
   | been asked before but they seemed to pertain to invariant   
   | denominators. And invariant perhaps refers to constants...   
      
   Look under restoring division and non-restoring division for binary integers.
