General method of multiplying

Following is a general method which can be used to multiply

following of two numbers.
Short trick used:
a*c|(a*d + b*c)|b*d
Note: carry forward extra digits from right part to left part of
short trick.
Example 1
Lets multiply 24 and 26.
Here a =2, b = 4, c =2 and d=6.
Solution:
product of X and Y will be:
a*c|(a*d + b*c)|b*d
=2*2|2*6 + 4*2|4*6
=4|12+8|24
=4|20|24
=4|20 + 2|4 (2 of 24 has been carried forward to left)
=4|22|4
=4+2|2|4 (2 of 22 has been carried forward to left)
=6|2|4
=624

Multiplying by 11 shortcut
This technique teaches us how to multiply any number by
11,easily and quickly . we will take five examples and from
these we will seethe pattern used and also how easy they are
to do.
Example 1
11X12
First you will ignore the 11 for the moment and concentrate
on the 12.
Split the twelve apart:
12
Add these two digits together,1+2=3
Place the answer between thethe12 to give 132
11X12=132
Example 2
48X11
Again , leave the 11 alone for a moment and work with the 48.
4+8=12
Place the 2 from the 12 in between the 4 and 8 giving 428.
Now we need to input the 1 from the 12 into the answer and to
do this just add one from 12 to the 4 of 428 giving 528 !

Example 3
74X 11
7+4=11
7(Put the 1 from the right of 11 in ) and then 4 then add the 1
from the left of 11to the 7.
74X11=814
Example 4

91X11
Now leave the 11 alone for a moment and work with the 91.
9+1=10
Place the 0 from the 10 in between the 9 and 1 giving 901.
We need to input the 1 from the 10 into the answer and to do
this just add one from 10 to the 9 of 901 giving 1001 !
Example 5
54X11
5+4=9
5(Put the 9 in ) and then 4.
54X11=594
Multiplying by 12 shortcut
This technique teaches us how to multiply any number by
12,easily and quickly . we will take five examples and from
these we will seethe pattern used and also how easy they are
to do.

Example 1
12X7
The first thing is to always multiply the 1 0f 12 by the number
we are multiplying by , in the case 7. So 1X7=7.
Multiply this 7 by 10 giving 70. (We are working with bases
here .)
Now multiply 7 by 2 of 12giving 14. Add this to70 giving 84.
Therefore 7X12=84
Example 2
17X12
Remember , multiply the 17 by 1 in 12 and by 10 giving 170 .
Multiply 17 by 2 giving 34.
Add 34 to 170 giving 204.
So 17X12=204
Example 3
24X12
Multiply 24X1=24.Multiply by 10 giving 240
Multiply24X2=48. Add to 240 giving 288.
24X12=288
Example 4
51X12
multiply the 51 by 1 in 12 and by 10 giving 510 .
Multiply 51 by 2 giving 102 .
Add 102 to 510 giving 612 .
So 51X12=612


Example 5
99X12
Multiply 99X1=99.Multiply by 10 giving 990.
Multiply 99X2=198. Add to 990 giving 1188 .
99X12=1188




Condition:
1. The number should be near 10.
Short trick used:
Let N be the number. and D be the difference from 10. Then
square of the number will be,
(N)2 = (N-D) | (D)2 ..(if N is smaller than 10)
(N)2 = (N+D) | (D)2 ..(if N is greater than 10)
Square Trick 4: Square of a number close to 10
Using this trick you will be able to find the square of any number
which is near 10.

Suppose we need to find the square of 9
Here, N = 9 and D = 10 9 = 1
Solution
(9)
2
= (N-D) | (D)
2
..(Because 9 is smaller than 10)
= (9 1) | (1)
2

= 8|1
= 81
Example 1
Suppose we need to find the square of 20
Here, N = 20 and D = 20 10 = 10
Solution
(20)
2
= (N-D) | (D)
2
..(Because 20 is greater than 10)
= (20 + 10) | (10)
2

= 30|100
= 30+10|0
= 40|0
=400
Example 2
Example 3

Suppose we need to find the square of 15
Here, N = 20 and D = 15 10 = 5
Solution
(15)
2
= (N-D) | (D)
2

= (15 + 5) | (5)
2

= 20|25
= 20+2|5
= 22|5
=225



Suppose we need to find the square of 18
Here, N = 18 and D = 18 10 = 8
Solution
(18)
2
= (N-D) | (D)
2

= (18+ 8) | (8)
2

= 26|64
= 26+6|4
= 32|4
=324



Example 5
Suppose we need to find the square of 55
Here, N = 55 and D = 55 10 = 45
Solution
(55)
2
= (N-D) | (D)
2

= (55+45) | (45)
2

= 100|2025
= 100+202|5
= 302| 5
=3025



Here is a really quick way to square any number with a 5 on
the end .
Example 1
45
2
We have to split the number , giving you
4and 5
2
Forget about the 5
2
for the moment and do this :
Always add 1 , adding 1 to the 4 , so we get 4+1=5
Then multiply this answer , 5 , by the original first number , 4
5X4 =20
So what you have is 20 and 5
2

Everyone knows 5
2
=25?
Put the two answer together and thats the answer!
2025.


Example 2
85
2

Split the number apart :
8 and 5
2
Again , forget about the 5
2

Add 1 to 8
8+1=9
Multiply 9 by the first number , which was 8
9X8=72
Now , put all the numbers together , 72 and 5
2
5
2
=25
So the answer is 7225
Example 3
15
2
Split the number apart :
1and 5
2
Again , forget about the 5
2

Add 1 to 1
1+1=2
Multiply 2 by the first number , which was 1
2X1=2
Now , put all the numbers together , 2 and 5
2
5
2
=25
So the answer is 225



Example 4
1005
2


We have to split the number , giving you
100and 5
2
Forget about the 5
2
for the moment and do this :
Always add 1 , adding 1 to the 100 , so we get 100+1=101
Then multiply this answer , 5 , by the original first number ,
100
100X101 =10100
So what you have is 10100 and 5
2

Everyone knows 5
2
=25?
Put the two answer together and thats the answer!
1010025.

Example 5
1205
2



Split the number apart :
120 and 5
2
Again , forget about the 5
2

Add 1 to 120
120+1=121
Multiply 121 by the first number , which was 120
120X121=14520
Now , put all the numbers together , `14520 and 5
2
5
2
=25
So the answer is 1452025
