Two halves equal: One whole.
Minus one quarter from the 'one whole', equals: Three fourths
If you think of it in u.s. money, two halves .50 cent pieces, equals a total of one whole dollar. If you take a quarter, 1/4 away, you have 3 quarters left. Since 4 quarters make up a whole dollar, by taking away one of the quarters, you are left with 3 quarters. In fraction terms, your left with: 3/4
Hope that answers your question :o)

Actually, you don't need JNZ. You simply subtract the low order halves, and then you subtract with borrow the high order halves. You can carry this to any arbitrary precision.
One quarter is two eighths, so five eighths subtract two eighths is three eighths.
20 halves
one quarter 1/2 - 1/4 = 1/4 1/2 = 2/4 so 2/4 - 1/4 = 1/4 as 2 - 1 = 1

No, they used to be quarters.
2 ÷ 1/2 = 2 x 2/1 = 4 Alternatively: 1 whole is 2 halves → 2 wholes = 2 x 2 halves = 4 halves.
