Question
Division is to be done using the algorithm in the text. The size of the quotient is 8 bits. Which of the following is NOT true? A. There are 9 iterations of the loop. B. The divisor is 16 bits wide. C. The initial remainder value is 0. D. The remainder is 16 bits wide. The following values are represented in 8 bits and addition/subtraction is done in 8 bits. For which of the following operations does overflow occur? A. -30-100 100-30 30-100 -30 + 103 The number -1.0 is to be stored in single precision using the IEEE standard. What is the size of the fraction? A. 1 bit B 8 bits C. 24 bits D. 23 bitsExplanation / Answer
14)
The quotient is 8 bits long. Assume the quotient as 40 i.e., 00101000.
If the dividend is 159. The remainder would be 39. i.,00100111.
Therefore, the maximum number for the remainder is 39 which is 8 bits long.
Therefore, the option d is wrong.
Hence, the correct answer is option d.
