Introduction
 Booth’s algorithm gives a procedure for multiplying
binary integers in signed 2’s complement representation
in efficient way.
 Less number of additions/subtractions required.
 Requires examination of the multiplier bits and shifting
of the partial product.
Rules
 Prior to the shifting, the multiplicand may be added to
the partial product, subtracted from the partial product,
or left unchanged according to the following rules:
 The multiplicand is subtracted from the partial product upon
encountering the first least significant 1 in a string of 1’s in the
multiplier
 The multiplicand is added to the partial product upon
encountering the first 0 (provided that there was a previous ‘1’)
in a string of 0’s in the multiplier.
 The partial product does not change when the multiplier bit is
identical to the previous multiplier bit.
Flowchart
Example
 Compute −3× −7 using the Booth’s
algorithm.
 The 2’s complement representations for
them are 1101 and 1001, respectively.
 Initially,
 A = 0000
 Q = 1001
 M = 1101
 M’ = 0010
 Q−1=0.
 The final result will be 21, which will be stored in A and Q.
Example
OPERATION A Q Q-1 Count
0000 1001 0 4

A + M’ + 1 0011 1001 0

ASHR 0001 1100 1 3

A+M 1110 1100 1

ASHR 1111 0110 0 2

ASHR 1111 1011 0 1

A + M’ + 1 0010 1011 1

ASHR 0001 0101 1 0


Conclusion
 Booth’s Algorithm is used for signed
multiplication.
 2’s complement form is used.
 The algorithm requires examination of the
multiplier bits and shifting of the partial
product.
 Final result is stored in A and Q registers.
