Multiplication using Shift and Add algorithm (Unsigned binary number

representation)

Shift-and-add multiplication is similar to the multiplication performed by paper and pencil. This
method adds the multiplicand M to Q , where Q denotes the multiplier. As an example, consider
the multiplication of two unsigned 4-bit numbers, 8 (1000) and 9 (1001).

Multiplicand 1000 × Multiplier 1001

Multiply Operation

Multiplicand in M
Multiplier in Q

A← 0,
C← 0,
Count ← n

=1
Q0 = ?
A=A+M
=0
Shift Right
CAQ
Count=Count-1

No Yes
Count=0 END

EXAMPLE:- 2 *3

2=Multiplicand (0010) [M]

3= Multiplier (0011) [Q][Q3,Q2,Q1,Q0]

A= Accumulator

Count C A Q M Remark
(n) (3)[Q3,Q2,Q1,Q0]
4 0 0000 0011 0010 Initialization
0 0010 0011 0010 A=A+M
0 0001 0001 0010 SHIFT RIGHT

3 0 0011 0001 0010 A=A+M


0 0001 1000 0010 SHIFT RIGHT

2 0 0000 1100 0010 SHIFT RIGHT

1 0 0000 0110 0010 SHIFT RIGHT


0 00000110 Result
4*3= M=4= 0100 Q=3= 0011

Count C A Q M Remark
(n) (3)[Q3,Q2,Q1,Q0]
4 0 0000 0011 0100 Initial
0 0100 0011 0100 A=A+M
0 0010 0001 0100 Shift right

0 0011 0000 0100 Shift right
2 0 0001 1000 0100 Shift right

1 0 0000 1100 0100 Shift right


0 00001100 Result
