Maybe something in Hacker's Delight[1]? Or Swartzlander's Computer Arithmetic[2] series? There's probably also some coverage somewhere in the Knuth's The Art of Computer Programming, but no idea which volume off-hand. And if you really want to go down a rabbit hole, there's the…
on “Ask HN: Where to study about twos complement mathematics in depth?” ↗…graphs in README). I have implemented a few algorithms such as the Karatsuba Algorithm and Divide-&-Conquer division (Balanced and Unbalanced) with more algorithms on the way as needed. The books "Modern Computer Arithmetic" by Brent and Zimmerman and "Hacker's Delight" by Henry Warren Jr have really helped a lot. Still largely WIP. Interested in any feedback and/or criticisms. Happy to answer any questions.
on “A WIP arbitrary precision arithmetic library (alternative to GMP)” ↗my preferred reference for Computer Arithmetic is the book by Behrooz Parhami. Goes from the beginning into great detail and it is very easy to read. It was my go-to reference when writing floating points units in VHDL. https://web.ece.ucsb.edu/~parhami/text_comp_arit.htm
