INTRODUCTION
Booth's multiplication
algorithm is an algorithm
which multiplies 2 signed or
unsigned integers in 2's
complement.
This approach uses fewer
a d d i t i o n s a n d s u b t r a c ti on s
t h a n m o r e s t r a i g h t f o r w a rd
algorithms.
HISTORY
The algorithm was invented by Andrew
Donald Booth in 1950 while doing
research on crystallography at
Birkbeck College in Bloomsbury,
London. Booth's algorithm is of
interest in the study of computer
architecture.

POINTS TO REMEMBER
(UNSIGNED)
The multiplier and multiplicand are placed in the Q and M registers, respectively.
There is also a 1-bit register placed logically to the right of the least significant bit
(Q0) of the Q register and designated Q-1;
The results of the multiplication will appear in the A and Q registers. A and Q-1
are initialized to 0 . As before, control logic scans the bits of the multiplier one at
a time .
Now, as each bit is examined, the bit to its right is also examined. If the two bits
are the same (1–1 or 0–0) , then all of the bits of the A, Q, and Q-1 registers are
shifted to the right 1 bit .
If the two bits differ, then the multiplicand is added to or subtracted from the
A register , depending on whether the two bits are 0–1 or 1–0 .
Following the addition or subtraction, the right shift occurs. In either case, the
right shift is such that the leftmost bit of A, namely A n -1, not only is shifted into
An -2, but also remains in An -1. This is required to preserve the sign of the number
in A and Q.
