Who here can divide to roman numbers together without conversion?
What is XXI / XIXIV ?
The Romans left division and other math like that to the Greeks and Persians. Odviously, the Romans were really retarded when it came to math. They didn't even have the concept of zero, which makes no sense to me, but I guess it did to them.
About your question, try doing repeated subtraction(that's how computers do division, by the repeated adding of negative numbers; in fact, all computers can tecnically do is add).

Tecnically, after the 80486, the numeration stopped, but computer people like us still preferred to call them by numbers still until the Pentium 3 came out.

Who knows? Maybe 80886 doesn't have a good ring to it. It doesn't matter to me. It isn't the name that counts, it's the speed.

The Pentium III and Pentium M have the same basic architecture as the Pentium II (686); the Itanium family (Intel's 64-bit architecture) corresponds to 786.
