Multiplying binary.

[jsbush]

Hey, could someone help me out please.

would 1101.11 x 1.1011 = 1110.10111??

If its wrong could you show me how you did it please?


Thanks, your help is much appriciated.

Heh, that's got to be one of the most useless skills ever, multiplying fractional binary by hand.

can you do fractional binary?

you cant have "." in binary... or can you?

10111.001101

just multiply using the same rules as you would with base 10 (multiply as if the decimals aren't there, then count the total number of digits after the decimals and apply to the final answer)

you can do fractions in any base system. for base "g",
0.n = n * 1/g
0.0n = n * 1(g*g)
etc.

You young fellers have it easy in assembly classes now with x86 having hardware multiply and divide. When I was a lad we had to not only walk to school 5 miles uphill through the snow, but had to program 6502 and 8080 chips with just shifts and add/subtract.
