Abstract
We consider the problem of short division -- i.e., approximate quotient -- of multiple-precision integers. We present ready-to-implement algorithms that yield an approximation of the quotient, with tight and rigorous error bounds. We exhibit speedups of up to 30% with respect to GMP division with remainder, and up to 10% with respect to GMP short division, with room for further improvements. This work enables one to implement fast correctly rounded division routines in multiple-precision software tools.
