Divide-and-Correct Methods for Multiple Precision Division A division problem is defined and notation to relate it to the problem of multiple precision operation in a digital computer is introduced. A basic divide-and-correct method for multiple precision division is formulated and its known properties briefly reviewed. Of particular interest is the fact that the method produces at each step a set of precisely three estimates for the desired result, one of which is exact. CACM August, 1964 Stein, M. L.
