The conventional two's complement multiplier which is constituted by a Booth encoder, a partial production generation circuit, and an adder has a problem that the circuit scale would be increased because a bit extension is performed when the multiplier is adapted to an unsigned multiplication. A multiplication circuit of the present invention is provided with a first Booth encoder (1) for encoding lower-order several bits of a multiplier according to first rules of encoding using a Booth algorithm, and a second Booth encoder (5) for encoding most-significant several bits of the multiplier according to second rules of encoding using a Booth algorithm, which are different from the first rules of encoding, and thereby the most-significant several bits of the multiplier are encoded using the Booth algorithm which is different from that for the lower-order several bits.
