ABSTRACT:
A method and system is disclosed for calculating the square root of a number using a fixed-point microprocessor. The method includes employing a binary search to obtain the integer portion of the square root, and calculating a fraction of the square root utilizing the integer portion. The method further includes summing the fractional portion together with the integer portion to yield the square root. Also disclosed is a calculator apparatus for employing the method.
