When working with assembly language, one of the fundamental operations is division. In this blog post, we will explore an 8086 assembly program that divides two 16-bit numbers using the DIV instruction.
The following program takes two 16-bit numbers stored in memory, performs division, and stores the result.
data segment
a dw 4444h
b dw 0002h
c dw ?
data ends
code segment
assume ds:data, cs:code
start:
mov ax,data
mov ds,ax
mov ax,a
mov bx,b
div bx
mov c,ax
int 3
code ends
end start
This blog post will walk you through a simple 8086 assembly program designed to add two 8-bit numbers. While seemingly basic, this example highlights fundamental concepts of assembly programming, register usage, and data manipulation. Let’s get started!
