A binary computer does exactly the same multiplication as decimal numbers do, but with binary numbers. In binary encoding each long number is multiplied by one digit (either 0 or 1), and that is much easier than in decimal, as the product by 0 or 1 is just 0 or the same number.
Booth's multiplication algorithm is a multiplication algorithm that multiplies two signed binary numbers in two's complement notation. The algorithm was invented by Andrew Donald Booth in 1950 while doing research on crystallography at Birkbeck College in Bloomsbury, London. [1] Booth's algorithm is of interest in the study of computer ...
A multiplication algorithm is an algorithm (or method) to multiply two numbers. Depending on the size of the numbers, different algorithms are more efficient than others. Numerous algorithms are known and there has been much research into the t
The Wallace tree is a variant of long multiplication. The first step is to multiply each digit (each bit) of one factor by each digit of the other. Each of these partial products has weight equal to the product of its factors. The final product is calculated by the weighted sum of all these partial products.
The lesser of the two bit lengths will be the maximum height of each column of weights after the first stage of multiplication. For each stage j {\displaystyle j} of the reduction, the goal of the algorithm is the reduce the height of each column so that it is less than or equal to the value of d j {\displaystyle d_{j}} .
Horner's method is a fast, code-efficient method for multiplication and division of binary numbers on a microcontroller with no hardware multiplier. One of the binary numbers to be multiplied is represented as a trivial polynomial, where (using the above notation) a i = 1 {\displaystyle a_{i}=1} , and x = 2 {\displaystyle x=2} .
Karatsuba multiplication of az+b and cz+d (boxed), and 1234 and 567 with z=100. Magenta arrows denote multiplication, amber denotes addition, silver denotes subtraction and cyan denotes left shift. (A), (B) and (C) show recursion with z=10 to obtain intermediate values. The Karatsuba algorithm is a fast multiplication algorithm.
When performing any of these multiplication algorithms the following "steps" should be applied. The answer must be found one digit at a time starting at the least significant digit and moving left. The last calculation is on the leading zero of the multiplicand. Each digit has a neighbor, i.e., the digit on its right. The rightmost digit's ...
