### A good answer might be:

`mflo $8`

The instructions `mflo` and `mfhi` are used to get the results of an integer divide.

# Example Program

For this example say that we wish to calculate `(y + x) / (y - x)`. The argument `x` is in $8; `y` is in $9. The quotient is to be placed in $10 and the remainder in $11. Assume two's complement integers. Here is the program. Sadly, it has some holes:

    ## Program to calculate (y + x) / (y - x)
    ##
    ## Register Use:
    ##  $8   x
    ##  $9   y
    ##  $10  x/y
    ##  $11  x%y

            .text
            .globl  main

    main:
            ___      $8,   $0,  8         # put x into $8
            ___      $9,   $0, 36         # put y into $9
            addu     $10,  $__, $__       # $10  <-- (y+x)
            subu     $11,  $__, $__       # $11  <-- (y-x)
            div      $__,  $__            # hilo <-- (y+x)/(y-x)
            ____     $10                  # $10  <-- quotient
            ____     $11                  # $11  <-- remainder
