Claim 13:
14. The method of claim 11, wherein
converting the first absolute value into the first odd value and the first exponent value comprises:
detecting a degree of oddness of the first absolute value by determining an amount of leading bits “0” in the first absolute value;
right shifting the first absolute value by bits of the amount of the leading bits “0” in the first absolute value;
providing the right-shifted first absolute value as the first odd value; and
providing the first exponent value as the amount of the leading bits “0” in the first absolute value; and wherein

converting the second absolute value into the second odd value and the second exponent value comprises:
detecting a degree of oddness of the second absolute value by determining an amount of leading bits “0” in the second absolute value;
right shifting the second absolute value by bits of the amount of the leading bits “0” in the first absolute value;
providing the right-shifted second absolute value as the second odd value; and
providing the second exponent value as the amount of the leading bits “0” in the second absolute value.
