Code Mnemonic Description
F6 /6 DIV r/m8 Unsigned divide AX by r/m8; AL Quotient, AH Remainder
F7 /6 DIV r/m16 Unsigned divide DX:AX by r/m16; AX Quotient, DX Remainder
F7 /6 DIV r/m32 Unsigned divide EDX:EAX by r/m32 doubleword; EAX Quotient, EDX Remainder

Description
Divides (unsigned) the value in the AX register, DX:AX register pair, or EDX:EAX register pair (dividend) by the source operand (divisor) and stores the result in the AX (AH:AL), DX:AX, or EDX:EAX registers. The source operand can be a general-purpose register or a memory loca-tion. The action of this instruction depends on the operand size, as shown in the following table:
Operand Size Dividend Divisor Quotient Remainder Maximum Quotient
Word / Byte AX r/m8 AL AH 255
Doubleword / Word DX:AX r/m16 AX DX 65,535
Quadword / Doubleword EDX:EAX r/m32 EAX EDX 4,294,967,295 (2^32 - 1)

Non-integral results are truncated (chopped) towards 0. The remainder is always less than the divisor in magnitude. Overflow is indicated with the #DE (divide error) exception rather than with the CF flag.
Operands Bytes Clocks
r8 2 17 NP
r16 2 25 NP
r32 2 41 NP
mem8 2 + d(0 - 2) 17 NP
mem16 2 + d(0 - 2) 25 NP
mem32 2 + d(0 - 2) 41 NP

AX / byte = AL AH
DX:AX / word = AX DX
EDX:EAX / dword = EAX EDX
