1. Convert each BCD to 8 bits for multiplication:

45 = 0000 0100 0000 0101
28 = 0000 0010 0000 1000

Perform digit-by-digit multiplication:

5x8:
0000 0101
x 0000 1000

= 0010 1000
/ 0000 1010

= 0000 0100 Remainder 0000 0000
= 0000 0100 0000 0000 = 40

4x8:
0000 0100
x 0000 1000

= 0010 0000
/ 0000 1010

= 0000 0011 Remainder 0000 0010
Add 8-bit 0's since it is a tens digit

= 0000 0011 0000 0010 0000 0000 = 320

5x2:
0000 0101
x 0000 0010

= 0000 1010
/ 0000 1010

= 0000 0001 Remainder 0000 0000
Add 8-bit 0's since it is a tens digit

= 0000 0001 0000 ...
