| Abstract: | A floating point representation which permits exact conversion of decimal numbers is discussed. This requires the exponent to represent a power of ten, and thus decimal shifts of the binary mantissa are needed. A specialized design is analyzed for the problem of division by ten, which is needed for decimal shifting. |
