Multiplication on a common microcontroller is easy. But division is much more difficult. Even with hardware assistance, a 32-bit division on a modern 64-bit x86 CPU can run between 9 and 15 cycles.

This issue is here to discuss decimal number arithmetic (floating/fixed point numbers) implementation. Current implementation is whacky at best. It uses fixed point numbers and it has trouble with big ...

NPR's Scott Simon talks to math historian Glen Van Brummelen about his finding that the decimal point appeared in the 1440s, earlier than thought. How did the decimal point come to be? - the dot that ...

Historians have discovered what may be the world's first decimal point, in an ancient manuscript written 150 years before its next known appearance. There have been many ways to split integers, but ...

Binary numbers are used in computer systems as the fundamental representation of data. At times, it becomes necessary to convert binary notations to decimal format, especially for easier understanding ...

Abstract: The IEEE 754 standard does not distinguish between exact and inexact floating-point numbers. There is no bit or field in the binary encoding that indicates whether a floating-point number is ...

Linux provides commands for converting numbers from one base to another. Learn how to uses these commands and how to make the process easier with scripts and aliases. You might not be challenged very ...
