What is the purpose for leaving decimal values at the end of a number? The may give additional precision or may be indicators of the number of significant digits in the calculation. As an example of the latter, 5.000 kilometres is, at first sig â¦ ht, no different from 5 km.
The answer is an algorithm called âDivide by 2â that uses a stack to keep track of the digits for the binary result. The Divide by 2 algorithm assumes that we start with an integer greater than 0. A simple iteration then continually divides the decimal number by 2 and keeps track of the remainder. The first division by 2 gives information as to whether the value is even or odd. An even value will have a remainder of 0. It will have the digit 0 in the ones place.
