Short Notes for MUL CX and DIV BL:

MUL CX

a. MUL always uses AX (or its extended versions EAX or RAX) as the implicit destination register.
b. The operand size determines the size of the result:

i. Byte-sized operand: Result in AX

ii. Word-sized operand: Result in DX:AX
iii. Doubleword-sized operand (32-bit mode): Result in EDX:EAX
iv. Quadword-sized operand (64-bit mode): Result in RDX:RAX

c. The upper half of the result (DX or EDX or RDX) holds any overflow bits.
d. The Carry Flag (CF) is set if the upper half of the product is non-zero.

DIV BL

a. DIV always uses the DX:AX or EDX:EAX pair as the implicit dividend register.
b. The divisor is specified as the operand of the DIV instruction.
c. The quotient is stored in AX (for 16-bit division) or EAX (for 32-bit division).
d. The remainder is stored in DX.
e. Clear DX (or EDX for 32-bit division) before division to ensure a correct 16-bit or 32-bit dividend.
f. If the divisor is 0, a division error occurs.
g. The Overflow Flag (OF) is set if the quotient is too large to fit in the destination register.
