In VHDL, supported arithmetic operators consist of the prefix and binary plus (+) and minus (-) symbols, as well as the operators for multiplication (*) and division (/). See "Section 7.2.3: Adding Operators" and "Section 7.2.4: Multiplying Operators" in the IEEE Std 1076-1993 IEEE Standard VHDL Language Reference Manual for more information.

In VHDL, multiplying operators perform arithmetic multiplication and division operations on groups and numbers. Supported multiplying operators consist of multiplication (*) and division (/) operators, which are predefined for any integer type. See "Section 7.2.6: Multiplying Operators" in the IEEE Std 1076-1993 IEEE Standard VHDL Language Reference Manual for more information.

Altera recommends that you use the altfp_div megafunction instead of any other type of floating-point divider function. The altfp_div megafunction supports the following floating-point formats: single precision, double precision, single extended precision. The altfp_div megafunction is available for supported device (Apex II, Apex 20K, Arria GX, Cyclone, Cyclone II, Cyclone III, HardCopy II, HardCopy Stratix, Max II, Stratix, Stratix GX, Stratix II, Stratix II GX, and Stratix III) families.
