I want to calculate 12938 divide 8192 using shifts. First I tried to convert 12938 to binary, and my problem is how to divide by 8192 using shifts.

The numbers are so big, I got a little bit confused. Please help me to figure out the right answer. Many thanks.

integer division, or fractional? 8192 is exactly 2 ^ 13, so a right shift by thirteen will give you the integer result. – Alnitak Jan 14 '19 at 10:34
What programming language are you using. What have you tried? – Georgi Georgiev Jan 14 '19 at 10:39
