Abstract
When division X/Y of floating point numbers is performed, bit string data of a mantissa x including a fraction xf of X or a mantissa y including a fraction yf of Y is shifted in accordance with magnitude relation between them to perform a fraction computation. Thereby, a fraction division result in which the position of the most significant bit is fixed at a prescribed digit is generated. When a square root operation √Y is performed, a fraction square root operation result in which the position of the most significant bit is fixed at a prescribed digit is generated by an exception handling if all of the three conditions that all the bits in the fraction of Y are one, a difference between the exponent ye of Y and a bias value b is an odd number, and a rounding mode is a positive infinity direction are satisfied.
