I would presume that processors do division using some more efficient method, given that they don't seem to take an hour when I tell them to divide seven into two billion, but how do they do it?

The main reason for the new digital divide, in my opinion as someone who studies information systems, is that so few people understand how algorithms work.

Study proposes a communication-efficient, divide and conquer algorithm that combines information from sub-machines using confidence distributions. The theoretical relationship between the number ...
