•Many embedded chips today lack floating point hardware •Programmers built scale factors into programs •Large constant multiplier turns all FP numbers to integers •inputs multiplied by scale factor manually •Outputs divided by scale factor manually •Sometimes called fixed point arithmetic CIS371 (Roth/Martin): Floating Point 6
