Abstract A technique is described for expressing multilength floating-point arithmetic in terms of singlelength floating point arithmetic, i.e. the arithmetic for an available (say: single or double precision) floating-point number system. The basic algorithms are exact addition and multiplication of two singlelength floating-point numbers, delivering the result as a doublelength floating-point number. A straight-forward application of the technique yields a set of algorithms for doublelength arithmetic which are given as ALGOL 60 procedures.
