Abstract

Any arithmetic operation roots down to the four elementary processes, namely addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Of these four, multiplication and division happen to be highly resource intensive in terms of memory requirement and execution time. It has been evolved that available ancient Vedic sutras for solving complex arithmetic operations when reorganized as computer algorithms provide a paradigm shift in both memory requirement and speed. Our proposed Vedic sutra based algorithms handle decimal number system instead of conventional binary numbers which eliminates BCD to binary conversion and vice versa, further accelerating the desired process. This chapter focuses primarily on a few Vedic Sutras and their effectiveness in optimizing BCD multiplication and BCD division and also provides substantial statistical data in support.
