    large binary number division

    Hello,
    I am trying to divide a large binary number (54 bits) with another binary number (10 bits). Can some one please suggest what would be the fastest (in terms of execution speed) way to accomplish this?
    I plan to store my numbers in arrays of integers/strings:
    A=[1,0,1,1,0,.....0,1,0] - 54 bits
    B=[1,1,1,0...0,1,0] - 10 bits

    Thanks.

    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
