In MIPS, what are HI and LO

Question

I\'m reading about division in MIPS and I\'ve found that div

Divides $s by $t and stores the quotient in $LO and the remainder in $HI

<

Answer 1

What LO does is that for multiplication, it stores the least significant bits, and HI stores the rest of the bits, but mainly, we just focus on the LO part for multiplication. In division, we focus on both. LO in division is where the quotient should be stored at and HI is the remainder.
