Binary Division

There are 10 kinds of people in the world, those that understand binary, and those that don't.

There are two kinds of people in the world, those that divide everything into two kinds, and those that don't.

There are 11 kinds of people in the world, those that can do arithmetic in binary, and those that can't.

And I was expecting doing LongDivision in BinaryArithmetic. Silly me.

OK ...

  1. 1
+---------------
  1. | 10101101100111
    1. 1
------
  1. 0
    1. 1
-------
  1. 1
    1. 1
-------
  1. 1
  2. 1
------
  1. 1
  2. 1
------
0

So 10101101100111 = 101000*100001111. Computed by hand.
