4 times thru the loop
No edit summary
Line 33:
The described method in the article can't handle multiplications like -128 x 1 (when using 8 bits). The problem arises from the fact that -128 is the minimum negative number when using 8 bits for representation. I have made a minor modification in the method and added one more example to show the improved technique. Hope that everything is OK.

==Number of times to perform the loop==
In [[Booth%27s_multiplication_algorithm#Example]], how do you know to perform the loop 4 times? [[User:Captain Zyrain|Captain Zyrain]] 20:53, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
 
: Because in the example, x = 4 and y = 4.
