The numbers to be multiplied are generally called the "factors " or "
multiplicands". "
multiplicand", while the number of multiples is
Kaynak: MultiplicationIf the
multiplicand has a hundreds-digit, find the product of the multiplier and the hundreds-digit of the
multiplicand, and to this
Kaynak: Elementary arithmeticIt decomposes one of the
multiplicand s (generally the larger) into a sum of powers of two and creates a table of doublings of the second
Kaynak: Ancient Egyptian multiplicationWhere y i 0 and y i-1 1, the
multiplicand times 2 i is added to P; and where y i 1 and y i-1 0, the
multiplicand times 2 i is subtracted
Kaynak: Booth's multiplication algorithmThis is achieved by noting that the final digit is completely determined by multiplying the last digit of the
multiplicand s.
Kaynak: Trachtenberg systemIf the current bit of the multiplier is 1, add the
multiplicand into the accumulator; if it is 0, do nothing. For an n-bit multiplier, this
Kaynak: Kochanski multiplicationPlace the
multiplicand on top, the multiplier on bottom. Line up the units place of the multiplier with the highest place of the
multiplicand.
Kaynak: Rod calculussometimes called Standard Algorithm:multiply the
multiplicand by each digit of the multiplier and then add up all the properly shifted results.
Kaynak: Multiplication algorithmThe
multiplicand was written next to the figure 1; the
multiplicand was then added to itself, and the result written next to the number 2
Kaynak: Egyptian mathematicsThere isn't usually a problem when the
multiplicand (the one being repeatedly added to form the product) is negative; the issue is setting
Kaynak: Two's complementThe Arithmometers of this period were four-operation machines ; a
multiplicand inscribed on the input sliders could be multiplied by a
Kaynak: ArithmometerThe NAF of the
multiplicand d must be computed first with the following algorithm. i 0 While (d 0) do if (d mod 2) 1 then d i d mods 2 w d d
Kaynak: Elliptic curve point multiplicationThe Mark 1 also had a fourth tube, (M), to hold the
multiplicand and multiplier for a multiplication operation. Programming : Image:
Kaynak: Manchester Mark 1The two original numbers are called the multiplier and the
multiplicand, sometimes both simply called factors. Multiplication is best viewed
Kaynak: ArithmeticBrahmagupta describes the multiplication as thus “The
multiplicand is repeated like a string for cattle, as often as there are integrant
