The java.math.BigInteger.multiply(BigInteger val) is used to calculate the multiplication of two BigIntegers. As BigInteger class internally uses an array of integers for processing, the operation on an object of BigInteger are not as fast as on primitives.
Syntax:
public BigInteger multiply(BigInteger val)
Parameters: This method accepts a parameter val which is the value to be multiplied to this BigInteger.
Return value: This method returns a BigInteger which holds multiplication (this * val).
Below programs is used to illustrate the multiply() method of BigInteger.
Example 1:
// Java program to demonstrate// multiply() method of BigInteger import java.math.BigInteger; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // BigInteger object to store result BigInteger mult; // For user input // Use Scanner or BufferedReader // Two objects of String created // Holds the values to calculate the multiplication String input1 = "012345678901234567" + "654632498739473"; String input2 = "0123456789012345" + "61247612748612746"; // Convert the string input to BigInteger BigInteger a = new BigInteger(input1); BigInteger b = new BigInteger(input2); // Using multiply() method mult = a.multiply(b); // Display the result in BigInteger System.out.println("The multiplication of\n" + a + " \nand\n" + b + " " + "\nis\n" + mult); }} |
Output:
The multiplication of
12345678901234567654632498739473
and
12345678901234561247612748612746
is

Example 2:
// Java program to demonstrate// multiply() method of BigInteger import java.math.BigInteger; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // BigInteger object to store result BigInteger mult; // For user input // Use Scanner or BufferedReader // Two objects of String created // Holds the values to calculate the multiplication String input1 = "012345678901234567" + "8901234567890123" + "4567890123456789" + "0123456789012345" + "6789012345678901" + "654632498739473"; String input2 = "0123456789012345" + "6789012345678901" + "2345678901234567" + "8901234567890123" + "4567890123456789" + "61247612748612746"; // Convert the string input to BigInteger BigInteger a = new BigInteger(input1); BigInteger b = new BigInteger(input2); // Using multiply() method mult = a.multiply(b); // Display the result in BigInteger System.out.println("The multiplication of\n" + a + " \nand\n" + b + " " + "\nis\n" + mult + "\n"); // Using double to hold the result double d = Double.parseDouble(mult.toString()); // Display the result in double System.out.println("Using double, multiplication is " + d); }} |
Output:
The multiplication of
123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901654632498739473

As from the above examples, it is clear that the data is full precise when BigInteger is used.
