Multiplying only

Introduced: January 2006

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Methods or arrangements for processing data by operating upon the order or content of the data handled > Methods or arrangements for performing computations using exclusively denominational number representation, e.g. using binary, ternary, decimal representation > using non-contact-making devices, e.g. tube, solid state device; using unspecified devices > Multiplying; Dividing > Multiplying only

CPC:

Methods or arrangements for processing data by operating upon the order or content of the data handled (logic circuits H03K19/00) > Methods or arrangements for performing computations using exclusively denominational number representation, e.g. using binary, ternary, decimal representation > using non-contact-making devices, e.g. tube, solid state device; using unspecified devices > Multiplying; Dividing (G06F7/483 - G06F7/491, G06F7/544 take precedence) > Multiplying only

Of 5 combined children, 4 exist in both systems.

1 codes are CPC-only extensions.

3 shared codes have differing titles between IPC and CPC.

IPC defines codes here since 2006.
