2. Shift-And-Add multiplication
• Operation is similar to multiplication using pen and paper.
• This method adds the multiplicand X to itself Y times , where Y is multiplier.
• Let multiply X=8= 1000 and Y= 9 =1001
1000
x 1001
1 0 0 0
0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0
1 0 0 0
1001000
• If n-number of bits are present in multiplier and multiplicand then 2n number of bits
required to store the result.
• Multiplication is complex operation. It can be replaced by repeated addition.
Partial product
Final Result

4. Booth Multiplication Algorithm
for Unsigned Number
Count = n means number of
bits present in multiplier(Q).

5. Example of Unsigned Multiplication
Q0= 0 means only Arithmetic
Right Shift operation
Q0=1 => A<- A+M and arithmetic
Right shift operation of C,A,Q
Final result is present in AQ.
i.e. 01111000 =120
Multiply 12*10 means M=12= 1100 Q=10 =1010
12*10=120

6. Modified Booth Algorithm
for Signed Multiplication

7. Example of Multiplication using Booth
Algorithm
Q0Q -1 == 00 or 11 only Right shift
operation of AQQ -1
Q0Q -1 == 01 , A  A+M
Then Right shift operation of AQQ -1
Q0Q -1 == 10 , A  A - M
Then Right shift operation of AQQ -1
Final result is present in AQ.
i.e. (00010101)2 = (21)10
7*3 =21

8. Assignment
