Abstract

Examples of the present disclosure provide apparatuses and methods for performing division operations in a memory. An example apparatus comprises a first address space comprising a first number of memory cells coupled to a sense line and to a first number of select lines wherein the first address space stores a dividend value. A second address space comprises a second number of memory cells coupled to the sense line and to a second number of select lines wherein the second address space stores a divisor value. A third address space comprises a third number of memory cells coupled to the sense line and to a third number of select lines wherein the third address space stores a remainder value. Sensing circuitry can be configured to receive the dividend value and the divisor value, divide the dividend value by the divisor value, and store a remainder result in the third number of memory cells.
