help, some brief for division?

[gerade]

hi, guys, in my project, I am designing an MDU. and this mdu doesn't have very high requirement for timing, but for area. actually it is just a add/substract and 1bit shift per machine cycle. that means 16/8 division will take abut 9 clock cycle.

but I am so familiar with the algorithm, something quite complicated for me.

Any hints for getting some basic understanding of the algorithm?

yes, it is brief, but too brief
