#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);
}

这是可行的:

smegma$ curl http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=14+divided+by+3 2>/dev/null | gawk 'match($0, /link to /input/\?i=([0-9.+-]+)/, ary) { print substr( $0, ary[1, "start"], ary[1, "length"] )}' 4.6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666

只要把你的数字换成“14”和“3”就行了。

使用黑客的喜悦魔术数字计算器

int divideByThree(int num)
{
  return (fma(num, 1431655766, 0) >> 32);
}

其中fma是在math.h头文件中定义的标准库函数。

你可以考虑用图或树状结构来解决这个问题。基本上生成的顶点数与要除以3的数一样多。然后继续将每个未配对的顶点与其他两个顶点配对。

粗糙的伪代码:

function divide(int num)
    while(num!=0)
        Add a new vertice to vertiexList.
        num--
    quotient = 0
    for each in vertexList(lets call this vertex A)
        if vertexList not empty
            Add an edge between A and another vertex(say B)
        else
            your Remainder is 1 and Quotient is quotient
        if vertexList not empty
            Add an edge between A and another vertex(say C)
        else
            your remainder is 2 and Quotient is quotient
        quotient++
        remove A, B, C from vertexList
    Remainder is 0 and Quotient is quotient

这显然是可以优化的，复杂度取决于你的数字有多大，但它应该工作，只要你能做++和——。 这就像数更酷的东西一样。

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{

    int num = 1234567;
    int den = 3;
    div_t r = div(num,den); // div() is a standard C function.
    printf("%d\n", r.quot);

    return 0;
}
