Binary Divider

Hi, I'm a new user and want to get used to the Quartus environment to create my own simple binary divider (like the lpm_divider). So wondered if anyone could give me any hints/tips/help please?

I would say have a look at these books as a starting point

Computer Organisation & Design - Patterson and Hennessey

Digital Arithmetic - Ercegovac and Lang

Computer Arithmetic Algoithms - Isreal Koren

and to a lesser degree this one

Elementary Functions: Algorithms and Implementation - Muller

Trying to implement any mathematical algorithm in hardware might be heavy going to begin but the end result can be very lucrative ;)
