As I know, The "Divide Overflow" is an exception that occurs when you try to perform division by zero.

I was learning a tutorial about computer architecture and design and I got confused by a statement

Divide overflow occurs when the sign of the dividend is same as that of the divisor.

Can anyone please enlighten about this?

Basically because the quotient of the division can not represent the number. Take a look here: http://faculty.kfupm.edu.sa/COE/aimane/assembly/pagegen-71.aspx.htm
