Abstract

A multiple selector logic circuit for selecting divisor multiples in 2-bit, non-restoring divide sequences, which provides a proper and accurate quotient result and remainder, and which produces rounding and indication of exact or inexact result in conformance with ANSI/IEEE Standard 754-1985; the multiple selector logic circuit incorporates semiconductor circuits including a multiplier table having a particular matrix of multipliers which meet the standard.
