The invention relates to a multiplier for the multiplication of at least two figures in an original format. Each of said figures is fed to a first converter for conversion of each of said figures in the product of a first binary number representing a power of 2, and a second binary number representing a signed power of 3, the exponents of the powers of 2 of the concerning figures being fed to a first adder and the exponents of the powers of 3 of the concerning figures being fed to a second adder, whereby the combined respective outputs of the first adder and the second adder represent the multiplied value of said figures, and the resulting powers of 2 and 3 as available at the outputs of the first and second adder being fed to a second converter for conversion of the multiplied value into the original format.
