Which number representation is commonly used by Booth’s algorithm for signed binary multiplication?

Options

  • A. Sign-magnitude representation
  • B. 1’s complement representation
  • C. 2’s complement representation
  • D. BCD representation
  • E. None of the above

Correct Answer (Detailed Explanation is Below)

C. 2’s complement representation

Detailed Explanation

Correct Answer: (C) 2’s complement representation
Booth’s algorithm commonly operates on signed binary numbers represented in 2’s complement form. This representation allows positive and negative operands to be handled using binary arithmetic.
