Binary Multiplication and Division
Binary
Binary multiplication is one of the four binary
arithmetic. The other three fundamental operations
are addition, subtraction and division. In the case
of a binary operation, we deal with only two digits,
i.e. 0 and 1. The operation performed while finding
the binary product is similar to the conventional
multiplication method. The four major steps in
binary digit multiplication are:
• 0×0=0
• 0×1=0
• 1×0=0
• 1×1=1
Note: The binary product of the two binary numbers 1 and 1
is equal to 1 only. And no additional number is borrowed or
carried forward in this operation.
As per these rules, it very clear, that if the binary multiplication includes 0, then it will result in zero itself.
Hence,
Binary product of 0 and 0 is equal to 0
Binary product of 0 and 1 is equal to 0
Binary product of 1 and 0 is equal to 0
Binary product of 1 and 1 is equal to 1

Binary Division
What is Binary Division?
The binary division operation is similar to the base 10 decimal
system, except the base 2. The division is probably one of the most
challenging operations of the basic arithmetic operations. There are
different ways to solve division problems using binary operations.
Long division is one of them and the easiest and the most efficient
way.
The binary division is much easier than the decimal division when
you remember the following division rules. The main rules of the
binary division include:
• 1÷1 = 1
• 1÷0 = Meaningless
• 0÷1 = 0
Example 1.
Question: Solve 01111100 ÷ 0010
Solution:
Given
01111100 ÷ 0010
Here the dividend is 01111100, and the divisor is 0010
Remove the zero’s in the Most Significant Bit in both
the dividend and divisor, that doesn’t change the value
of the number.
So the dividend becomes 1111100, and the divisor
becomes 10.
Now, solve using the long division method.
Step 1: First, look at the first two numbers in the dividend and compare
with the divisor. Add the number 1 in the quotient place. Then subtract
the value, you get 1 as remainder.
Step 2: Then bring down the next number from the dividend portion and
do the step 1 process again
Step 3: Repeat the process until the remainder becomes zero by
comparing the dividend and the divisor value.
Step 4: Now, in this case, after you get the remainder value as 0, you
have zero left in the dividend portion, so bring that zero to the quotient
portion.
