AAM -- ASCII Adjust AX after Multiply

OpcodeInstructionClocks DescriptionExample
D4 0Aaam 17 ASCII adjust AX after multiplyaam

Operation




AH := AL / 10;
AL := AL MOD 10;

Description

Execute AAM only after executing a MUL instruction between two unpacked BCD digits that leaves the result in the AX register. Because the result is less than 100, it is contained entirely in the AL register. AAM unpacks the AL result by dividing AL by 10, leaving the quotient (most-significant digit) in AH and the remainder (least-significant digit) in AL.
