#include <stdio.h>

typedef struct { char a,b,c; } Triple;

unsigned long div3(Triple *v, char *r) {
  if ((long)v <= 2)  
    return (unsigned long)r;
  return div3(&v[-1], &r[1]);
}

int main() {
  unsigned long v = 21; 
  int r = div3((Triple*)v, 0); 
  printf("%ld / 3 = %d\n", v, r); 
  return 0;
}

这是经典的2进制除法算法

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>

int main()
{
  uint32_t mod3[6] = { 0,1,2,0,1,2 };
  uint32_t x = 1234567; // number to divide, and remainder at the end
  uint32_t y = 0; // result
  int bit = 31; // current bit
  printf("X=%u   X/3=%u\n",x,x/3); // the '/3' is for testing

  while (bit>0)
  {
    printf("BIT=%d  X=%u  Y=%u\n",bit,x,y);
    // decrement bit
    int h = 1; while (1) { bit ^= h; if ( bit&h ) h <<= 1; else break; }
    uint32_t r = x>>bit;  // current remainder in 0..5
    x ^= r<<bit;          // remove R bits from X
    if (r >= 3) y |= 1<<bit; // new output bit
    x |= mod3[r]<<bit;    // new remainder inserted in X
  }
  printf("Y=%u\n",y);
}

哪里InputValue是数字除以3

SELECT AVG(NUM) 
  FROM (SELECT InputValue NUM from sys.dual
         UNION ALL SELECT 0 from sys.dual
         UNION ALL SELECT 0 from sys.dual) divby3

为什么我们不直接用在大学里学过的定义呢?结果可能效率低，但很清楚，因为乘法只是递归的减法，减法是加法，那么加法可以通过递归的异或/和逻辑端口组合来执行。

#include <stdio.h>

int add(int a, int b){
   int rc;
   int carry;
   rc = a ^ b; 
   carry = (a & b) << 1;
   if (rc & carry) 
      return add(rc, carry);
   else
      return rc ^ carry; 
}

int sub(int a, int b){
   return add(a, add(~b, 1)); 
}

int div( int D, int Q )
{
/* lets do only positive and then
 * add the sign at the end
 * inversion needs to be performed only for +Q/-D or -Q/+D
 */
   int result=0;
   int sign=0;
   if( D < 0 ) {
      D=sub(0,D);
      if( Q<0 )
         Q=sub(0,Q);
      else
         sign=1;
   } else {
      if( Q<0 ) {
         Q=sub(0,Q);
         sign=1;
      } 
   }
   while(D>=Q) {
      D = sub( D, Q );
      result++;
   }
/*
* Apply sign
*/
   if( sign )
      result = sub(0,result);
   return result;
}

int main( int argc, char ** argv ) 
{
    printf( "2 plus 3=%d\n", add(2,3) );
    printf( "22 div 3=%d\n", div(22,3) );
    printf( "-22 div 3=%d\n", div(-22,3) );
    printf( "-22 div -3=%d\n", div(-22,-3) );
    printf( "22 div 03=%d\n", div(22,-3) );
    return 0;
}

有人说……首先让它工作。注意，该算法应该适用于负Q…

一般来说，解决这个问题的方法是:

log（pow（exp（numerator），pow（deliminator，-1）））

你可以使用(依赖于平台)内联程序集，例如，对于x86:(也适用于负数)

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
  int dividend = -42, divisor = 5, quotient, remainder;

  __asm__ ( "cdq; idivl %%ebx;"
          : "=a" (quotient), "=d" (remainder)
          : "a"  (dividend), "b"  (divisor)
          : );

  printf("%i / %i = %i, remainder: %i\n", dividend, divisor, quotient, remainder);
  return 0;
}
