MASKING of 16 bits into 14 bits to perfom multiplication with it

how to mask the 16 bit integer value and use it as a 14 bit value

A 14-bit register can represent unsigned values less than or equal to 16383 or signed values between -8191 and +8191.

A 16-bit register with a value outside those limits cannot be squeezed into 14 bits without losing information. If the value is within those limits then you can multiply the 16-bit values without any masking.

What are you trying to do?
