Scott Dattalo says:
BTW, you should be aware that Nik's generator is more accurate than what Dmitry and I generated. The algorithm is based on this formula:1/(A+B) ~= B/A - (B/A)^2 + (B/A)^3 + ...Dmitry and I computed the first two terms, Nik does all three in the generator.
The error is on the order of 1/16/16/16 = 2E-4
For example:
suppose you wanted to divide 65535 by 15. The exact answer is 4369. However, using Dmitry's code you'd get: 4350. Nik's produces: 4365 (I think).
But a slight mod will improve Dmitry's

Code:
Here is a 9 instruction version of Dmitry's code:+
swapf low,w ; W = d.c
andlw 15 ; W = 0.c
addwf high,w ; W = 0.c + a.b
movwf low ; W -> low byte
swapf high,w ; W = b.a
andlw 15 ; W = 0.a
movwf high ; W -> high byte
btfsc status,c ; check carry from add
incf high,f ; 0.a + carry
