1430	 Multiple Precision Floating-Point Conversion from Decimal-to-Binary and Vice Versa	 Decimal-to-binary and binary-to-decimal floating-point conversion is often performed by using a table of the powers i ia positive integer for converting from base to base and by using a table of the coefficient of a polynomial approximation of x x for converting from base to base . These tables occupy a large storage region in the case of a nonsingle precision conversion. This paper shows that a single small table suffices for a floating-point conversion from decimal to binary and vice versa in any useful precision.
