This article discusses a new division algorithm for computers which is cost effective and which can be implemented with a table of manageable size. Recent reports of a new convergence division process (Asai (1980), Asai and Cheng (1983)) only describe a mathematical process. The practical advantages of the new convergence division are discussed here and the old and new convergence divisions are compared. The new method promises to reduce the performance time and table size required for convergence division.
