In an embodiment, multi-precision numbers A and B are accessed from a storage device (e.g., a memory array), where A is a dividend and B is a divisor. A multi-precision division operation is iteratively performed on the numbers A and B including: performing a multi-precision subtraction operation on A and B during a first iteration of the multi-precision division operation; performing a multi-precision addition operation on A and B during a second iteration of the multi-precision division operation as a result of a determination that a final borrow occurred during the subtraction operation; and performing a multi-precision addition operation on A and B after a final iteration of the multi-precision division operation.
