How to divide in ASM

Parallel Universe

Does anybody know a good way to divide in asmembly?
All I can think of is this (I'm still a bit of a newbie.):

               mov quotient, #0
divide         sub dividend, divisor wc
        if_nc  add quotient, #1
        if_nc  jmp #divide

But, as you can see, it's not that pretty--and it will take forever to run. Is there some trick with bit-shifting or something·to speed this up?

Look here (http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php?p=609066) under "Programming the Propeller" for "Propeller Guts Download". There are sample multiplication, division, and square root routines in assembly.
