"Google is your friend."

These links were all on the first page of results.
The first three go into some detail.  The last is a quick summary.

"Symmetric division considered harmful"  (for Forth-83)
http://www.nimblemachines.com/symmetric-division-considered-harmful/

"Excerpts from Forth Programmer's Handbook #2"
http://www.computer-solutions.co.uk/chipdev/fph-2.htm

"Signed Integer Division" (kForth)
http://ccreweb.org/software/kforth/kforth5.html

"Division" (ANSForth)
http://www.forth.org/ansforth/node5.html


Sigh, I need to read those too ...
