Abstract

We propose a very simple method for adding and subtracting n-digit binary coded decimal (BCD) numbers with a small constant number of ordinary operations of a 4 n-bit binary ALU. With this method addition/subtraction of 8-digit decimal numbers on an intel 486 processor is faster than programs that use the special built-in operations for decimal adjustment.
