1. A division unit for use in a three-dimensional (3D) computer graphic system, comprising:
a leading zero detector for receiving a texture address value w and counting the number of leading zeros from the received texture address value w;
at least one UV formatter for receiving texture address values u and v and removing more significant bits from the received texture address values u and v by the number of leading zeros detected by the leading zero detector, or for padding 0's subsequent to less significant bits of the texture address values u and v by the number of removed leading zeros after the removing; and
at least one divider for dividing the values u and v newly formatted by the UV formatter by the value w.
