starts with 65/21 = 3, remainder 2 ; 24/21 = 1, remainder 3 ; 33/21 = 1, remainder 12, so the final answer is 311, remainder 12. If only you had paid attention to My commandments, your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like waves of the sea. If this divide function could be available, it seems picaxe divide maths would extent to 16 bit integer resolution rather than 8, which I suspect many would appreciate. I have a practice of renaming the registers to make software configuration more flexible and easily followed (see example below) , so perhaps PICAXE does not allow us to nest assignment under the variable symbols you define for the divide routine, in which case I might need to point these back to the absolute register values (bo, b1 w3 etc) ( HIPPY - is that the case? You can't go anywhere because the divisor is greater than msb and greater than lsb, any division result is always zero and remainders are the same as the numbers you started with.

Actually, it might be that there was just a line which had gone AWOL, marked in the updated code below.That's quite a timely request, I've just been drafting the explanatory text to go with the code, which I hope to post in the "code snippets" section later this evening.

e. dividing by multiples of ten for up to 10 digits) but the extra code is far larger than the basic division subroutine(s)! It includes a user friendly mouse driven interface with full remote network and mobile phone access. It might be necessary to step through the code a statement at a time to see where things were going astray. The problem with a long looping solution implemented in firmware is that it would need the space, plus internal variables, and it's a rarely used requirement.Ends of the cable have been terminated using ferrules to reinforce the cable and to extend/prolong the life of the extension lead. However, I believe that womai's code takes about 30% longer to execute (probably because of the / and * instructions) and I suspect (not tested) westaut's is longer still because of the 32 iterations. It's all from quite some time ago so I don't have any ready answers as to why there may be bugs or where they may be.

e. making it look pretty) that takes up much of the program space, but isn't another name for that "User Friendly"? If so, it would be great if this subroutine function was included in the Variable - Mathmatic section of the manual please with a couple of of good application examples as it takes a lot of time to get your head around maths with what is there now. However, PICAXE does allow 16-bit by 8-bit divide ( and 16-bit by 16-bit ) and there are three overlapping groups of 16-bits in a 32-bit number. I believe the original request was for a (maximum) 16-bit result, but in principle I do quite like the idea of a 32-bit result as offered by womai and westaust.The newly upgraded SuperMax 16-32 drum sander has a number of features that make sanding every easier. Fitted with a 32 AMP 240V IP44 rated 2P+E industrial plug and 16 AMP 240V IP44 rated 2P+E industrial socket. I will wait until I see the magic of your improved 32/16 version before I decide which to to finally use.
