Abstract
A method and an apparatus for averaging includes generating a carry using a least significant bit of each of two binary numbers, wherein the two binary numbers include a first binary number and a second binary number, and adding a first shifted binary number, a second shifted binary number, and the carry generated, thereby outputting an average of the two binary numbers. The carry generated is added to the least significant bit position. The first shifted binary number is obtained by right-shifting the first binary number by one bit, and the second shifted binary number by right-shifting the second binary number by one bit.
