  Title:    Divide
 
  Syntax:   FDIV [dest,src]
            FDIVP dest,ST
            FDIV src
            FIDIV src
 
  See also: FDIVR, FMUL
 
  Description:
 
     Divides the destination by the source and returns the quotient in
     the destination. If two register operands are specified, one must
     be ST. If a memory operand is specified, the quotient replaces the
     value in ST. Memory operands can be 32- or 64-bit real numbers or
     16- or 32-bit integers.
 
     If no operand is specified, ST(1) is divided by ST and the stack
     is popped; the result is returned in ST. For FDIVP, the source
     must be ST; the quotient is returned in the destination register
     and ST is popped.
