Multiple Precision Floating-Point Conversion from Decimal-to-Binary and Vice Versa Decimal-to-binary and binary-to-decimal floating-point conversion is often performed by using a table of the powers 10^i, (ia positive integer) for converting from base 10 to base 2, and by using a table of the coefficient of a polynomial approximation of 10^x, (0<=x<1) for converting from base 2 to base 10. These tables occupy a large storage region in the case of a nonsingle precision conversion. This paper shows that a single small table suffices for a floating-point conversion from decimal to binary, and vice versa, in any useful precision. CACM May, 1966 Mancino, O. G.
