Abstract
A method to adjust the divisor and dividend, for application to a divider, so that the mantissa part of the divisor is transformed to be within a known limited range. The limiting of the transformed divisor range enables the complexity of the quotient select logic to be reduced accordingly. Once the divisor is restricted to the selected range, the dividend is adjusted proportionally so the quotient is unchanged.
