I have been studying the IEEE-754 standard and came across the information that floating-point division uses the SRT algorithm, which is currently the fastest and most accurate method. However, I have been unable to find any comprehensive articles or references on this topic.

Could you please explain the steps of the SRT algorithm? What principles should I follow if I want to calculate, for example, 1234 ÷ 56?

  • $\begingroup$ Thank you for the edit, that is much clearer. Wikipedia contains references where it appears you can learn more; I would suggest trying to track them down and read them. $\endgroup$ Commented Nov 15, 2024 at 22:20
