A floating-point number operation method applied to multiplication operation of a first floating-point number and a second floating-point number is provided. The first floating point number includes a first symbol, a first exponent and a first mantissa. The second floating point number includes a second symbol, a second exponent and a second mantissa. The method includes using an arithmetic unit to perform: comparing the first exponent to an exponent threshold, wherein when the first exponent is not less than the exponent threshold, generating a mantissa operation result by multiplying the first mantissa and the second mantissa when the first exponent is not less than the exponent threshold value; and generating a calculated floating point number according to the mantissa operation result and an exponent operation result of the first exponent and the second exponent. |
