An arithmetic circuit for performing division based on restoring division includes an intermediate remainder register configured to store an intermediate remainder, a quotient prediction circuit configured to perform, based on information about two most significant digits of the intermediate remainder and a most significant digit of a divisor, quotient prediction having lower precision than a highest precision obtainable from the information, thereby generating a prediction result, a fixed-value multiplication circuit configured to output one or more N-th (N: integer) multiples of the divisor selected in response to the prediction result, one or more subtracters configured to subtract, from the intermediate remainder, the one or more N-th multiples of the divisor output from the fixed-value multiplication circuit, and a partial quotient calculating circuit configured to obtain a partial quotient in response to one or more carry-out bits of one or more subtractions performed by the one or more subtracters. |
