Zusammenfassung:Method and apparatus for verifying the result of an arithmetic operation. The invention provides a time and cost efficient method of performing error detection on the result of an arithmetic operation; especially for a division operation. It does so through the novel use of a Carry-Save Adder (CSA). A CSA is known in the art to be faster and less costly to implement than the use of a full adder.
