Abstract
An arithmetic processing method is provided using a binary fixed-point arithmetic processing circuit to carry out an operation of multiplicatively dividing a dividend by a divisor. The method comprises shifting the divisor by a specific number of bits when the absolute value of the divisor is within a specific range, and holding the divisor without shifting the divisor when the absolute value of the divisor is out of the specific range, acquiring an initial value of approximation calculation for the divisor that is shifted or held without being shifted, calculating a reciprocal of the divisor by performing asymptotic approximation of the acquired initial value more than once, and calculating a product of the calculated reciprocal and the dividend, and shifting the calculated product by the specific number of bits when the divisor is shifted.
