IDIV -- Signed Divide
Opcode Instruction Clocks Description
F6 /7 IDIV r/m8 19 Signed divide AX by r/m byte
(AL=Quo, AH=Rem)
F7 /7 IDIV AX,r/m16 27 Signed divide DX:AX by EA word
(AX=Quo, DX=Rem)
F7 /7 IDIV EAX,r/m32 43 Signed divide EDX:EAX by DWORD
byte (EAX=Quo, EDX=Rem)
Operation
temp := dividend / divisor;
IF temp does not fit in quotient
THEN Interrupt 0;
ELSE
quotient := temp;
remainder := dividend MOD (r/m);
FI;
Notes
Divisions are signed. The divisor is given by the r/m operand. The
dividend, quotient, and remainder use implicit registers. Refer to the
table under "Description"
Description
IDIV performs a signed division. The dividend, quotient, and remainder
are implicitly allocated to fixed registers. Only the divisor is given as
an explicit r/m operand. The type of the divisor determines which registers
to use as follows:
Size Divisor Quotient Remainder Dividend
byte r/m8 AL AH AX
word r/m16 AX DX DX:AX
dword r/m32 EAX EDX EDX:EAX
If the resulting quotient is too large to fit in the destination, or if the
division is 0, an Interrupt 0 is generated. Nonintegral quotients are
truncated toward 0. The remainder has the same sign as the dividend
and the absolute value of the remainder is always less than the absolute
value of the divisor.
Flags Affected
OF, SF, ZF, AR, PF, CF are undefined.
Protected Mode Exceptions
Interrupt 0 if the quotient is too large to fit in the designated register
(AL or AX), or if the divisor is 0; #GP (0) for an illegal memory operand
effective address in the CS, DS, ES, FS, or GS segments; #SS(0) for an
illegal address in the SS segment; #PF(fault-code) for a page fault
Real Address Mode Exceptions
Interrupt 0 if the quotient is too large to fit in the designated register
(AL or AX), or if the divisor is 0; Interrupt 13 if any part of the operand
would lie outside of the effective address space from 0 to 0FFFFH
Virtual 8086 Mode Exceptions
Same exceptions as in Real Address Mode; #PF(fault-code) for a page
fault
