AAD -- ASCII Adjust AX before Division

Opcode	Instruction	Clocks	Description	Example
D5 0A	aad	19	ASCII adjust AX before division	`aad`

Operation




AL := AH * 10 + AL;
AH := 0;

Description

AAD is used to prepare two unpacked BCD digits (the least-significant digit in AL, the most-significant digit in AH) for a division operation that will yield an unpacked result. This is accomplished by setting AL to AL + (10 * AH), and then setting AH to 0. AX is then equal to the binary equivalent of the original unpacked two-digit number.
