Question

How to divide 2 numbers without using / operator in java ?​

Answer 1

In Python —————-



# Function to perform division (x / y) of two numbers x and y without
# using division operator in the code
def divide(x, y):

# handle divisibility by 0
if y == 0:
print("Error!!Divisible by 0")
exit(1)

# store sign of the result
sign = 1
if x * y < 0:
sign = -1

# convert both dividend and divisor to positive
x = abs(x)
y = abs(y)

# initialize quotient by 0
quotient = 0

# loop till dividend x is more than the divisor y
while x >= y:
x = x - y # perform reduction on dividend
quotient = quotient + 1 # increase quotient by 1

print("Remainder is", x)
return sign * quotient


# main function to perform division of two numbers
if __name__ == '__main__':

dividend = 22
divisor = -7

print("Quotient is", divide(dividend, divisor))

Answer 2

JAVA PROGRAM➛

Write a Java Program to divide two numbers without using /operator:-

_______________________________

$\huge\mathcal \red \bigstar{\green{LOGIC\:USED}}$

Let input no. be x and y.

We all know that if x is completely divisible by y then reminder is 0.

Taking same logic,

we subtract y from x till the x>0 and using Counter we find that how many times it is subtracting.

That Counter is our desired output.

Restriction:-

Restriction:-This code is for those value of x and y only whose division value come in Integer not in Decimal.

______________________________

$\huge\mathcal \red \bigstar{\underline{\purple{CODE}}}:-$

class divisionofnumber

{

public static void main(int x,int y)

{

int a =x,count=0;

if(x%y==0)

{

for(;x>0;x=x-y)

{

count++;

}// for end

System.out.println("When we divide "+a+" from "+y);

System.out.println("Answer is:-"+count);

} //if end

}// main() end

}// class end

Input:-

x=8

y=2

Output -

When we divide 8 from 2

Answer is:-4
