Abstract :
Summary form only given. This work is a part of research directed towards checking methods development for approximate calculations executed by floating-point circuits in a mantissa unit. The problem of the truncated non-restoring division residue checking is solved. An efficient implementation of truncated division is provided, reducing almost twice the hardware amount and time of an iterative array divider
