If you exceed these limits, you will get an error message. Limitsįor practical reasons, the size of the inputs - and the number of fractional bits in an infinite division result - is limited. First, you had to convert the operands to binary, rounding them if necessary then, you had to multiply them, and round the result. To work through this example, you had to act like a computer, as tedious as that was. In these cases, rounding occurs.ġ0 and 100 (both decimal) have exact floating-point equivalents (10100, respectively), but 129.95 has only an approximate representation. Decimal to floating-point conversion introduces inexactness because a decimal operand may not have an exact floating-point equivalent limited-precision binary arithmetic introduces inexactness because a binary calculation may produce more bits than can be stored. There are two sources of imprecision in such a calculation: decimal to floating-point conversion, and limited-precision binary arithmetic. Using the Calculator to Explore Floating-Point ArithmeticĪlthough this calculator implements pure binary arithmetic, you can use it to explore floating-point arithmetic.

For divisions that represent dyadic fractions, the result will be finite, and displayed in full precision - regardless of the setting for the number of fractional bits.įor example, 1/1010 to 24 fractional bits is 0.000110011001100110011001…, with “Num Digits” = “1.0 / 4.0 = 0.∞” 11/100 = 0.11, with “Num Digits” = “2.0 / 3.0 = 0.2”. Infinite results are noted with an ellipsis (…) appended to the result, and with an ‘∞’ symbol as the number of fractional digits. Infinite results are truncated - not rounded - to the specified number of bits. This means that operand 1 has one digit in its integer part and four digits in its fractional part, operand 2 has three digits in its integer part and six digits in its fractional part, and the result has four digits in its integer part and ten digits in its fractional part.Īddition, subtraction, and multiplication always produce a finite result, but division may (in fact, in most cases) produce an infinite (repeating) fractional value. Outputīesides the result of the operation, the number of digits in the operands and the result is displayed. Similarly, you can change the operator and keep the operands as is. If you want to change an operand, just type over the original number and click ‘Calculate’ - there is no need to click ‘Clear’ first. Click ‘Clear’ to reset the form and start from scratch.Click ‘Calculate’ to perform the operation.Change the number of bits you want displayed in the binary result, if different than the default (this applies only to division, and then only when the answer has an infinite fractional part).Fractional values are indicated with a radix point (‘.’, not ‘,’), and negative numbers are prefixed with a minus sign (“-”). Each operand must be a positive or negative number with no commas or spaces, not expressed as a fraction, and not in scientific notation.
It operates on “pure” binary numbers, not computer number formats like two’s complement or IEEE binary floating-point. You can use it to explore binary numbers in their most basic form. This calculator is, by design, very simple. It can operate on very large integers and very small fractional values - and combinations of both. It can add, subtract, multiply, or divide two binary numbers. This is an arbitrary-precision binary calculator. (Want to calculate with decimal operands? You must convert them first.)
