Floating-Point Arithmetic
... 1. Add the biased exponents of the two numbers, subtracting the bias from the sum to get the new biased exponent 2. Multiply the significands. Set the result sign to positive if operands have same sign, and negative otherwise 3. Normalize the product if necessary, shifting its significand right and ...

Linear Algebra Review
... However, when the bases and/or exponents become larger, problems can occur. For example, consider 19 47 mod 73 . Since 1947 1.3 1060 , computing the result directly will cause roundoff (even one-digit of roundoff will lead to inaccurate results) or will cause many calculators to overflow due to ...
