A floating-point arithmetic unit includes an exponent unit for biased exponents. Combinatorial bias-adjust logic removes the bias from one operand exponent before the two operand exponents are added together in adder for a multiply operation, and inserts a bias into one exponent before the exponents are subtracted by the adder for a divide operation.
