I am stumped on a simple problem. Let's say I have two 4 bit numbers in Q0.3 format. One sign bit and three fractional bits. So I can represent $-1$ through to $0.875$.
Let's now say I wish to do this calculation: $-0.25 \times 0.875$. Which is:
$$ \frac{-2}{2^3} \times \frac{7}{2^3} $$
Which means I am multiplying $1110$ ($-2$) by $0111$ ($7$). Of course the answer is $-0.21875$ or $-0.25$ using the closest Q0.3 number.
Let's do the working.
$$ 1110 \times 0111 = 01100010 $$
which when viewed as a Q0.6 number is $1.100010$, which is $-0.46875$ by my books. Why is this incorrect? I expect an answer of $1.110010$ ($-0.21875$).
What have I done wrong?
