8086 Multiplication & Division Guide

The document discusses multiplication and division of numbers in 8086 assembly language. It provides the theory behind multiplication using MUL and division using DIV instructions. It describes how the operands and results are stored in registers depending on whether numbers are 8-bit, 16-bit or 32-bit. It then provides algorithms and programs to multiply and divide 16-bit and 32-bit numbers. The programs demonstrate storing operands in registers, performing multiplication and division instructions, and storing results back to memory locations.

Multiplication and Division of Numbers in 8086


AIM : Write a program to multiplication and division of two 16-bit numbers

Theory:
The 8086 Processor provides both signed and unsigned multiply in their
instruction set to overcome the loss of efficiency in performing the repeated addition.
The MUL instruction can have both 16 and 8 bit operands and the multiplicand is AX or
AL, accordingly the result for a byte multiply is a 16 bit number in AX while that for a
word multiply is a 32 bit number, the lower word of which is in AX and the higher
word in DX.

Multiplication Multiplicant Operand Result


(MUL or IMUL) (Multiplier)

Byte*Byte AL Register or AX
memory

Word*Word AX Register or DX :AX


memory

Dword*Dword EAX Register or EAX :EDX

The 8086 Processor provides both signed and unsigned divide in their Instruction set to
overcome the loss of efficiency in performing the repeated subtraction.
Division Dividend Operand Quotient:
(DIV or IDIV) (Divisor) Remainder

Word/Byte AX Register or AL : AH
Memory

Dword/Word DX:AX Register or AX : DX


Memory

Qword/Dword EDX: EAX Register or EAX : EDX


Memory

Algorithm (Multiplication)
Step1: Initialize the data segment.
Step2: Get the first number in AX register.
Step3: Get the second number .
Step4: Multiply the two numbers and result is in DX:AX.
Step5: Stop.
Program:
data segment
num1 dw 56abh
num2 dw 1232h
prodl dw ?
prodh dw ?
data ends
code segment
start: assume ds:data, cs:code
mov ax,data
mov ds,ax
mov ax,num1
mul num2
mov prodl,ax
mov prodh,dx
mov ax,4c00h
int 21h
code ends
end start
Algorithm (Division)
Step1: Initialise the data segment.
Step2: Get the first number in AX register i.e. dividend.
Step3: Get the second number in BL i.e. divisor.
Step4: Divide the two numbers. Result is in register AX.
Step5: Stop.
Program:
data segment
num1 dw 0056h
num2 db 12h
quo db ?
rem db ?
data ends
code segment
start: assume ds:data, cs:code
mov ax,data
mov ds,ax
mov ax,num1
div num2
mov quo,al
mov rem,ah
mov ax,4c00h
int 21h
code ends
end start
Results
8 bit Multiplication of two numbers

16 bit Multiplication of two numbers


Division of 16 bit number by 8 bit number

Division of 32 bit number by 16 bit number


Conclusion:
We have learnt how to multiply and divide unsigned numbers in TASM. We have done 8-bit
into 8-bit and 16-bit into 16-bit. We divided a 16-bit by 8-bit number and 32-bit by 16-bit
number.
