Abstract:
1. A non-transitory programmable storage device readable by a machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by a specific semiconductor-based computational device situated in the machine to perform the method steps of a partial SRT (PSRT) division of a dividend X by a divisor D to obtain a quotient Q, said method steps comprising: causing a computer to obtain said dividend X and said divisor D; representing said dividend X and said divisor D as a digital representation having a plurality of bits; and performing iteratively the following steps until a desired accuracy of said quotient Q is achieved: in the event that said desired accuracy has been achieved, performing a selected step of recording, outputting and displaying said quotient Q=said most recent Q″ in a digital form; and in the event that said desired accuracy has not been achieved, performing the steps identified above as iterative steps again until said desired accuracy has been achieved and a selected step of recording, outputting and displaying said quotient Q=said most recent Q″ in a digital form is performed.
