It is shown that a function is computable by an on-the-fly algorithm processing data in the most significant digit first fashion with a finite number of registers if and only if it is computable by a right subsequential finite state machine processing data in the less significant digit first fashion. Applications to conversion of redundant into conventional representations and to the canonical Booth recoding are given. We also indicate some applications to negative or complex radix number systems.
