没有反复检查这个答案是否已经发表。如果程序需要扩展到浮点数，可以将这些数字乘以所需精度的10*数，然后可以再次应用下面的代码。

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int aNumber = 500;
    int gResult = 0;

    int aLoop = 0;

    int i = 0;
    for(i = 0; i < aNumber; i++)
    {
        if(aLoop == 3)
        {
           gResult++;
           aLoop = 0;
        }  
        aLoop++;
    }

    printf("Reulst of %d / 3 = %d", aNumber, gResult);

    return 0;
}

Yet another solution. This should handle all ints (including negative ints) except the min value of an int, which would need to be handled as a hard coded exception. This basically does division by subtraction but only using bit operators (shifts, xor, & and complement). For faster speed, it subtracts 3 * (decreasing powers of 2). In c#, it executes around 444 of these DivideBy3 calls per millisecond (2.2 seconds for 1,000,000 divides), so not horrendously slow, but no where near as fast as a simple x/3. By comparison, Coodey's nice solution is about 5 times faster than this one.

public static int DivideBy3(int a) {
    bool negative = a < 0;
    if (negative) a = Negate(a);
    int result;
    int sub = 3 << 29;
    int threes = 1 << 29;
    result = 0;
    while (threes > 0) {
        if (a >= sub) {
            a = Add(a, Negate(sub));
            result = Add(result, threes);
        }
        sub >>= 1;
        threes >>= 1;
    }
    if (negative) result = Negate(result);
    return result;
}
public static int Negate(int a) {
    return Add(~a, 1);
}
public static int Add(int a, int b) {
    int x = 0;
    x = a ^ b;
    while ((a & b) != 0) {
        b = (a & b) << 1;
        a = x;
        x = a ^ b;
    }
    return x;
}

这是c#，因为这是我手边的东西，但与c的区别应该很小。

你可以考虑用图或树状结构来解决这个问题。基本上生成的顶点数与要除以3的数一样多。然后继续将每个未配对的顶点与其他两个顶点配对。

粗糙的伪代码:

function divide(int num)
    while(num!=0)
        Add a new vertice to vertiexList.
        num--
    quotient = 0
    for each in vertexList(lets call this vertex A)
        if vertexList not empty
            Add an edge between A and another vertex(say B)
        else
            your Remainder is 1 and Quotient is quotient
        if vertexList not empty
            Add an edge between A and another vertex(say C)
        else
            your remainder is 2 and Quotient is quotient
        quotient++
        remove A, B, C from vertexList
    Remainder is 0 and Quotient is quotient

这显然是可以优化的，复杂度取决于你的数字有多大，但它应该工作，只要你能做++和——。 这就像数更酷的东西一样。

我会用这段代码除所有正数，非浮点数。基本上你要把除数位向左对齐以匹配被除数位。对于被除数的每一段(除数的大小)，你想要检查是否被除数的每一段大于除数，然后你想要左Shift，然后在第一个注册器中OR。这个概念最初是在2004年创建的(我相信是斯坦福大学)，这里是一个C版本，它使用了这个概念。注:(我做了一点修改)

int divide(int a, int b)
{
    int c = 0, r = 32, i = 32, p = a + 1;
    unsigned long int d = 0x80000000;

    while ((b & d) == 0)
    {
        d >>= 1;
        r--;
    }

    while (p > a)
    {
        c <<= 1;
        p = (b >> i--) & ((1 << r) - 1);
        if (p >= a)
            c |= 1;
    }
    return c; //p is remainder (for modulus)
}

使用示例:

int n = divide( 3, 6); //outputs 2

似乎没有人提到用二进制表示的3的除法准则——偶数的和应该等于奇数的和(类似于十进制中11的准则)。在“检查一个数是否能被3整除”一栏中有使用这个技巧的解决方案。

我想这就是迈克尔·伯尔的编辑提到的可能的复制品。

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{

    int num = 1234567;
    int den = 3;
    div_t r = div(num,den); // div() is a standard C function.
    printf("%d\n", r.quot);

    return 0;
}
