# DivisionBySubtractions

Simple implementation of a function to divide very large numbers with an arbitrary precision using successive subtractions.

For example, 128/8 is the same as subtracting 8 from 128, 16 times.

Here's the result of dividing 915.27 by 37768.2313358 using 32 digits of precision:
