How does binary multiplication work?

Binary multiplication works similarly to decimal multiplication. For each bit in the multiplier, if it is 1, add the multiplicand shifted left by that position. If it is 0, skip that position.

What is a partial product?

A partial product is the result of multiplying the multiplicand by a single bit of the multiplier. All partial products are then added together to get the final result.

Can I multiply numbers in different bases?

Yes, you can enter numbers in binary, decimal, or hexadecimal format. The calculator will automatically convert them and perform the multiplication in binary.
