Magical Squaring Technique

Let us first find square of 11 using the formula: -

The formula is self-explanatory. However, let me explain it for more clarification: lash used here is !ust a separator. "ur operating #one is 1$ x 1 or simply 1$. 11 is one more than 1$. %e added 1 to 11 to ma&e it 1'. (um)er of digits after the slash can )e only one. *f the num)er of digits after the slash exceeds one then we place only the right most digit after the slash and the remaining digits gets added to left hand side of the slash.

%ill you )e a)le to find squares of other num)ers in a similar manner+ Try.

,ou can wor& li&e this up to 1-'. %hat a)out num)ers a)ove '$+ .ormula remains same with a slight change. The change you will appreciate..

Magical Multiplication
/ultiplication is supposedly the toughest of all four operations namely multiplication, division, addition and su)traction. tudents feel threatened )y multiplication. * have covered this topic in detail. To ma&e this topic easily graspa)le, * have divided it into several parts. 0ach part is full of examples and steps are explained clearly wherever required. *f this helps the student, * will feel rewarded. First Formula * have called this 1.irst .ormula1 )ecause in my opinion a person willing to learn 1/agical methods of .ast calculation1 should start from here. .ormula will )e explained )y ta&ing various examples. Two-digit number multiplied by two-digit number. Let us start with an example: -

How would you multiply this in conventional way+ Let us solve it: -

%hat are the steps you too& here+ .irst you multiplied 23 )y 3 and wrote it )elow the line 45'36 Then you multiplied 23 )y 2 and wrote it )elow the first row leaving one space from right 45-$6 ,ou added the num)ers in first row with the num)ers in the second row )y first putting right most digits down and adding other digits thereafter conventionally. ,ou got 7''3 as answer.

Now let us do it by magical method: -

What did we do here? %e multiplied 3 )y 3 and put '3 as right hand side of the answer. %e added 1 to the top left digit 2 to ma&e it 8. %e then multiplied it 486 )y )ottom left digit 2 and get 7'9 this is left hand side of the answer. %e arrived at our desired answer 7''3.

Did you get it? Let us do some more )y the method learned !ust now:

Let me explain the method again: %e multiplied 3 )y 3 and put '3 on the right hand side. %e added 1 to the top left digit 8 to ma&e it ;. %e then multiplied ; )y )ottom left digit 8 and &ept 32 on left-hand side. %e arrived at our desired answer 32'3.

Now the method should be crystal clear to you. *n the same manner we can multiply the following: 13 )y 13, '3 )y '3, 53 )y 53, 73 )y 73, 33 )y 33, etc. * understand, you are getting inquisitive here and planning to as& a loaded question. ,our question is whether the applica)ility of the formula is limited to a num)er ending with 3 only+ /y answer is no, its not li&e that. Let us expand the formula... %e can apply this formula to find multiplication of a good amount of two digit, three digit num)ers.

Real Magic

I am certain that you will experience thrill after learning and understanding these methods. You will find this magical. Also you will find this very easy to work with. Try to teach these methods to as many person as you can. Denominator ending with 9

You people are well verse with conventional method so I am skipping the explanation. Now, Let us see the magical method !

"heck, whether two answers are same #$% &y conventional method our answer to ' places of decimal is (.')'*+. &y magical method also our answer is (.')'*+. There is no difference ,etween the answers, however the procedure adopted in ,oth the methods is different. -ne is more cum,ersome than the other. Let me explain the steps. Steps: +. is divided ,y *./ #a digit ending with /%

0tart dividing +. ,y *1. 2ut the decimal point first, divide +. ,y *1, ' is 3uotient and . is remainder, ' is written after the decimal and . is written in front of ' ,elow it as shown. -ur next gross num,er is .', divide .' ,y *1. 3uotient 4 ) and 5emainder 4 +. 3 4 ) is written after ' and 5 4 + ,efore ) #,elow it% -ur next gross num,er is +), divide +) ,y *1. 3 4 ' and 5 4 ), 3 4 ' is written after ) and 5 4 ) ,efore ' #,elow it%. -ur Next gross num,er 4 )', divide )' ,y *1. 3uotient 4 * and remainder 4 **. 3 4 * is written after ' and 5 4 ** ,efore * #,elow it%. 6e have already found answer up to four decimal places, our next dividend is ***, divide ,y *1. 3uotient 4 +, thus we have completed finding the answer up to five places of decimal. 5epeat the a,ove steps if you want to find the values further.

You have learned the steps re7uired to solve such kind of pro,lems where the denominator ends with /. 0imilarly you can solve pro,lems for denominator ending with any other digits. How?

.rom the a)ove illustration we can ta&e out that last digit of '5 is ;, 55 is 8 and vice-versa. ?ll other repeats itself. @rocedure of finding a cu)e: tart from right and put a comma when three digits are over

0xamples: -,'21 1,8'; 5',82; 183,212 ?fter putting the comma see the last digit of the num)er9 compare that with ta)le provided a)ove. ,ou get the last digit. (ow see the first group of num)ers and ascertain cu)e of which num)er is less than the group. That num)er is your first digit. ,ou have thus found first digit and last digit.

Let us ta&e an example: -

%teps: <ounting from last we put comma after -. Ay seeing the last digit we ascertain that last digit of cu)e root will )e 1. (ow we see - and ascertain that '5 > ;, is less than - and 55 > '8 is more. "ur first digit thus comes to ', and the answer is '1.

?nother 0xample: -

Ay seeing last digit we find last digit of cu)e root is equal to '. Ay seeing 5' we put 5, as our first digit as 55 > '8 is less than 5' and 75 > 27 is more. "ur answer is 5'.
