Abstract
A residue circuit takes weights of even number bits of a dividend as 1 and weights of odd number bits of the dividend as 2. The circuit includes a plurality of adders for summing bits having weight 1 to output weight 1 at a summing output and weight 2 at a carry output, and a plurality of adders for summing bits having weight 2 to output weight 2 at a summing output and weight 1 at a carry output. With these adders, summing of respective bits of the dividend bits are performed taking the weights into account to repeat summing until the number of bits finally becomes 3 bits. Depending upon the pattern of this 3 bits, a remainder is output by a modulus 3 generation circuit.
