Alternative ways to divide and multiply with assembly.

Martyr · 2004-08-05 18:27:32

I use these instructions instead of using IMUL or MUL sometimes to speed up code when i know number. Multiplying EAX by 3. [PHP]lea eax, [eax + 2 * eax][/PHP] By 24 [PHP]lea eax, [eax + 2 * eax] shl eax, 3[/PHP] And so on..are there alternative ways to divide also, without using DIV & IDIV instructions???
