Egyptian multiplication

Today learnt about Egyptian multiplication from a Reddit post
How it works is, we have to half the multiplicand and double the multiplier until multiplicand becomes 1 and sum the values of multiplicand. In the meantime, if we find that both the multiplicand and the multiplier is even, we  don't add add it in our result.
When the multiplicand becomes 1, we check the result of all the multiplicand and that's the result of that multiplication.
