try

b3 = 23

b0 = b3/10    ; whole tens

b1 = b3 // 10 ; remainder

#rem
See manual 2, page 20

Or use the "bintoascii" command but note that it will give you the ascii values (for sending to terminal or display) ie. "2" & "3" rather than 2 & 3.

Thankyou so much.

Worked perfectly.

i never would have thought of doing that!

If you do not need them as ASCII coded values but as simple digits (0 to 9),
just subtract 48 ($30) from each separated byte value
