Abstract
An apparatus over or under approximates the result of dividing a binary number representing an integer 2,. The division by 2,is performed by truncating the n least significant bits of the integer. In order to over or under approximate the result, the nth truncated bit, i.e., the most significant bit of the n-truncated less significant bits, is added to the integer represented by the remaining non-truncated bits.
