The product of two N-place decimal integers may need 2N places. This is true for numbers expressed in any base. In particular, the product of two integers expressed with N-bit binary may need 2N bits. For example, in the picture, two 8-bit unsigned integers are multiplied using the usual paper-and-pencil multiplication algorithm (but using binary arithmetic).
The two 8-bit operands result in a 15-bit product. Also shown is the same product done with base 16 and base 10 notation.
Is a 32-bit general register likely to hold the result of multiplying two other 32-bit registers?
