   After reading paragraph 5.2 of IEEE-754-2008 Standard I am less sure in   
   correctness of my above statement.   
   For the case of exact division, preservation of mental sanity during   
   fulfillment of requirements of this paragraph is far from simple,   
   regardless of numeric base used in the process.
