Ms. Hart and a student on Team America were both assessing a mathematical expression which consists of dividing decimals: 146.4 ÷ 0.32. Bewildered at the difficulty of the problem, they each evaluated the expression. However, the student had analyzed a differentiated solution. Most students would directly assume that Ms. Hart, as a teacher, would have the correct resolution. On the contrary, the student claimed she was accurate. Who will stand corrected? In order to precisely evaluate an expression involving the division of decimals, there are certain steps to ensure success:
If the divisor is not a whole number, move decimal point to the right to make it a whole number and move decimal point in dividend the same number of places.
Divide as usual.

Hart and the student’s work, the miscalculation is pointed out. The student has correctly analyzed the first step. Conversely, the teacher mistakenly divided 146.4 by 100 instead of multiplication, placing one of the main components of her expression to be 1.464 - incorrect. This affects every step after, although the operation and method used is correct. Nevertheless, the student may still be wrong as well.
Continuing the process of evaluating the expression, the next step is to divide as usual. Following the standard process of dividing whole numbers, the exact quotient received should be 457.5. With step 3 already done, the final action would be to check the answer. That can be done with the inverse operation of division, multiplication. 457.5 × 0.32 = 146.4. This proves that 457.5 is the error-free, precise quotient.
Evidently supported by a carefully checked run through of the steps needed, the student has received the honor of evaluating the expression accurately. Ms. Hart had erroneously used the wrong equation on step 1. Everyone makes mistakes! This depicts how using the right strategy and checking after each move can lead to conquering the expression and a genius, mathematical

Sonya, I’m really sorry for breaking your calculator. It is really an accident. I know it bothers you because you have to finish the math project. I am giving you a new one next week.

Let's say we have a negative exponent............ 0.0967 x 10 to the negative third. Instead of moving the decimal
Use the multiplier column to get the multiplier that will be multiplied to the first and second digit.
The minimum befuddling approach to make a part into a decimal is to first locate a number you can increase by the denominator to make it 10, or 100, or 1000, or any 1 took after by 0s. Next Multiply both top and base by that number. After that record only the top number, putting the decimal point in the right spot (one space from the right hand side for each zero in the base number) this works the other way around.

\subsection{A primer on Interval Arithmetic} \label{prec_section} In this section, we present briefly Interval Arithmetic and focus on its interaction with floating point approximation of reals. For more details on Interval Arithmetic, the interested reader can consult a more extensive reference, such as~\cite{InterBook}.\medskip \subsubsection{Bird's eye view on Interval Arithmetic.} Interval arithmetic is a representation of reals by intervals that contain them. For instance, one can specify that a value $x$ is given with an error $\epsilon$ by considering the interval $[x-\epsilon, x+\epsilon]$, or even manipulating the transcendent constant $\pi$ as the interval $[3.14, 3.15]$. Interval arithmetic is crucial the context of numerical
2. Let us consider the multiplication of two decimal numbers (5498 × 2314). The conventional methods already know to us will require 16 multiplications and 15 additions. The numbers to be multiplied are written on two consecutive sides of the square as shown in the figure. The square is divided into rows and columns where each row/column corresponds to one of the digit of either a multiplier or a multiplicand. Thus, each digit of the multiplier has a small box common to a digit of the multiplicand. These small boxes are partitioned into two halves by the crosswise lines. Each digit of the multiplier is then independently multiplied with every digit of the multiplicand and the two-digit product is written in the common box. All the digits lying on a crosswise dotted line are added to the previous carry. The least significant digit of the obtained number acts as the result digit and the rest as the carry for the next step. Carry for the first step (i.e., the dotted line on the extreme right side) is taken to be

($.91 X 3) = $ .309Note: Sometimes, when these numbers are very small, they can be included as a factor and not evaluated directly.
Single-precision numbers are stored in 32 bits, 1 for the sign, 8 for the exponent, and 23 for the fraction. The exponent is a signed number represented using the bias method with a bias of 127. The term biased exponent refers to the unsigned number contained in bits 1 through 8 and unbiased exponent (or just exponent) means the actual power to which 2 is to be raised. The fraction represents a number less than 1, but the significand of the floating-point number is 1 plus the fraction part. In other words, if e is the biased exponent (value of the exponent field) and f is the value of the fraction field, the number being represented is

Abstract: Traditional computers data processing is limited by computer data input, output, storage, display. Further computing needs repeated binary-decimal conversions. With the expansion of data intensive computing needs of distributed computing, decimal computing of mass data is widely applied in banking, financial, bio-medical, astronomy, geography, signal processing, data acquisition and image compression and other fields. Independent decimal floating point unit is becoming important in these areas. A floating point unit is a part of a computer system specially designed to carry out operations on floating point numbers. Floating point unit have been implemented as a coprocessor rather than as an integrated unit in various systems. Today 's floating point arithmetic operations are very important in the design of DSPs and application-specific systems. As fixed-point arithmetic logics are faster and more area efficient, but sometimes it is desirable to implement calculation using floating-point numbers. In most of the digital signal processing applications addition and multiplication is done frequently. This paper focuses on the techniques to design a floating point unit which has faster rate of operations.
