ABSTRACT:
A rational number operation unit comprising division means which receives a rational number having numerator and denominator to be reduced for sequentially determining terms d.sub.1, d.sub.2, . . . of a continued fraction for the rational number ##STR1## or data S.sub.1, S.sub.2, . . . , the division means carrying out a first division for the numerator as a dividend and the denominator as a divisor, producing a quotient thereof as the first term d.sub.1 or the dependent data S.sub.1, carrying out a second division for a residue thereof as a new divisor and the divisor in the first division as a new dividend, producing a quotient thereof as the second term d.sub.2 or depending data S.sub.2, . . . , carrying out an (i+1)th division for a residue of the i-th division as a new divisor and the divisor in the i-th division as a new dividend, producing a quotient thereof as the term d.sub.i+1 or depending data S.sub.i+1, calculation means responsive to the term d.sub.i or depending data S.sub.i for calculating
