Modulo from two binary numbers

Name: Anonymous 2010-11-26 11:38

Hi.
Is there a way to check if binary number is divisible by another binary number without dividing it ?

Name: Anonymous 2010-11-26 11:40

Sure, find a binary number k such that a = kb.

Use multiplication and binary search, if you like binary so much!

It's the same as dividing though.

That depends. If other is 2^N then yes.
Generally - no.

Your usage of ``binary'' leads me to believe you have no idea what you're talking about.

If it's 2n you are still performing a division, albeit an extremely efficient one.

No. If it's 2n, then I perform modulo without division thanks to special modulo & operator.
