Binary Multiplication Twos Complement Multiplication (Booths Algorithm)

The document describes the Booth multiplication algorithm for performing binary multiplication. It explains how the algorithm works by looking at the least significant bits of the multiplier and multiplicand to determine whether to add, subtract, or ignore the multiplicand from the running total. An example of multiplying -9 x -13 is shown step-by-step. The algorithm can reduce the number of additions compared to serial multiplication by observing patterns in the binary representation of the numbers.

Exercise
Show the step by step multiplication
process using Booth algorithm when the
following binary numbers are multiplied.
Assume 5-bit registers that hold signed
numbers. The multiplicand in both cases is
+15.
(+15) (+13)
(+15) (-13)

Observation
M X (00011110)

= M X (24 + 23 +22 + 21)


= M X (16 + 8 + 4 + 2)
= M X 30

The number of operations can be reduced to two if we


observe that:
2n + 2n-1 + . + 2n-k = 2n+1 2n-k
M X (00011110)

= M X (25 - 21)
= M X (32 - 2)
= M X 30

14 = 01110 = 24 21
= 16 2

25 = 011001 = -20 + 21 23 + 25
= -1 + 2 8 + 32
= 1 8 + 32
= -7 + 32
