Binary Division = Really Easy  -  A series of divide by 2s - flip flops or 
other similar circuit
Integer Division = Not quite as easy  -  Count pulses then turn on or off - 
Easy to implement
Binary Multiplication = Not really easy, but doable - Multiply triangle 
waves with precision rectifiers then convert to square waves
Integer Multiplication = Not impossible, but pretty stinkin hard - Only way 
I can think of to do this aside from syncable VCOs is to use multiplication 
scheme above and then divide using counters - this would still be an 
approximation.  i.e. 10 stages of multiplication divided by 341 would = 
3.003x not 3.000x
