[edit] Division by two

Description of an algorithm to divide a number by two. Unencyclopedic and doesn't really deserve a separate article. Delete Laur 29 June 2005 08:22 (UTC)

• Agree delete - what's described is just a not-very-interesting special case of long division. --RobertG ♬ talk 29 June 2005 11:26 (UTC)
• I quite like the piece, but agree that its subject doesn't merit an article - delete jamesgibbon 29 June 2005 12:40 (UTC)

• Keep Interesting case Intersofia 4 July 2005 22:24 (UTC)

• Keep. I can't think where this would be merged to. It is interesting, and can be expanded. I've read about this algorithm, it is sometimes called "Russian division", (er...or something like that). It is an algorithm that has been commented on by a number of well known "math people". If this survives VfD, I will expand the article. func(talk) 8 July 2005 03:16 (UTC)
