I dedicate this book to my children Anagha and Ashutosh, To my wonderful grandchildren Ria, Nikita, Anush and Anay And to all my dear students - With a wish that they never stop learning!


Why did I write this book ??

Why did I write this book ?? Being an educator for 30+ years has been an amazing and extremely fulfilling journey! As a teacher of Math, sometimes I would see some children struggling with big multiplications and divisions and would want to do something to help them and boost their confidence. While working to enhance my teaching-learning skills, I came across a lot of new stuff in various books. Self-learning from Trachtenburg’s methods and Vedic Mathematics was a journey in itself. These amazing method of calculations have been lost in the fast pace of changes and technology. These are patterns in Math converted to simple rules, a gift to students by mathematicians of long ago. These rules were used when there were no calculators and believe me once you learn the rules and practice hard you can beat a calculator in speed and accuracy, isn’t it amazing? It then became my hobby to learn, simplify the rules and teach them to my students as a reward for doing good work in class. For more than 10 years I conducted a program called Math++ in the Indian High School, Dubai. I was thrilled with the feedback from the students who attended the program, some of these are included in this book. The program was so satisfying, that the idea to compile all those amazing rules in one place, in this book, took shape in my mind. A dream of a book that will make Math enjoyable. And now any student from anywhere in the world can learn all the rules conveniently, using this book and at their own pace. These rules can be applied to any syllabus as it helps to make your Math base strong. Learn the rules, apply them in your day to day calculations and experience how much you can enjoy your math classes in school. The rules can be mastered by anyone who is willing to learn them, even if you have not always been very comfortable with Math. And if you learn well, you will do better at any Math test. You will also have more time to re-check your exam papers as you are bound to finish earlier and you will be able to calculate faster than you ever did. If you really give it a sincere shot, I promise you will soon Be a MATH-E-MAGICIAN! One requires a lot of support when such a project is taken up. My husband, my mom in law, and the entire extended family has been a strong support system for me. Appreciation comes in many forms and I have been lucky to get loads of it from students and friends too. The Indian High school has always been a great place for learning and growing as a teacher, where good work is always is appreciated. Thank you everyone for helping me do this. I miss my parents at this important time in my life, but I can visualize their delight and feel the pat on my back. This book has fulfilled my dream of reaching out to children, to hand over to them a tool, that will make day-to-day Math exciting and easy. My heartfelt thanks to my nephew, Santosh Subhedar. It was his perseverance and trust that was instrumental in getting this book printed!

Using The Magic Square

Using The Magic Square The magic square can be used for addition and subtraction. You will not need to count on your fingers once you are able to visualize the Magic Square and the method of using it. Let us begin with the operation of addition.

Example 01

23 +10

Example 02

23 +30

Example 03

23 +50

• Put your finger on 23 • Jump with the finger, one place to the right 23 to 33 as you are adding 1 ten. • Stop. • The answer is 33

• Put your finger on 23 • Jump with the finger, three places to the right as you are adding 3 tens. • So 23 to 33, 43, 53 and Stop • The answer is 53

• Put your finger on 23 • Jump with the finger, five places to the right as you are adding 5 tens. • So 23 to 33, 43, 53, 63, 73 and Stop • The answer is 73

Repeat this with different sets of numbers. Now let’s try subtraction with the help of the same Magic Square!

Example 01

23 -10

8

• Put your finger on 23 • Jump with the finger, one place to the left as you are subtracting 1 ten. • 23 to 13, Stop • The answer is 13

Using The Magic Square

Example 02

23 -20

Example 03

53-40

• Put your finger on 23 • Jump with the finger, two places to the left as you are subtracting 2 tens. • 23 to 13, 3 and stop • The answer is 3

• Put your finger on 53 • Jump with the finger, four places to the left as you are subtracting 4 tens. So we go from 53 to 43, 33, 23, 13 and stop. • The answer is 13

Repeat this with different sets of numbers. Now let’s go further with more additions and subtractions.

Example 01

34+25

Example 02

34-25

Math E Magician

• Put your finger on 34 • You have to add 2 tens and 5 ones to 34, so there are 2 jumps for tens and 5 steps for ones • Jump with the finger, two places to the right as you are adding 2 tens to reach 54 • Step down 5 places so we go from 54 to 55, 56, 57, 58, 59 and stop. • The answer is 59

• Put your finger on 34 • You have to subtract 2 tens and 5 ones, so there are 2 jumps for tens and 5 steps for ones but to the left as this is subtraction. • Jump with the finger, two places to the left, 34 to 24, 14 as you are subtracting 2 tens, to reach 14 • Step up 5 placesfrom 14 to 13, 12, 11, 10, 9 and stop. • The answer is 9

Additions Facts

EXAMPLES 1 34 + 8

34 + 10 = 44 – 2 = 42 (add 10 instead of 8 and then subtract 2)

2 65 + 18

65 + 20 = 85 – 2 = 83 (add 20 instead of 18, then subtract 2)

3 47 + 36

47 + 30 = 77 + 6 = 83 (add 3 tens the 6 ones)

4

236 + 613 236 + 600 = 836 + 10 = 846 + 3 = 849. This is done step-wise adding numbers from the left-hand side instead of the right-hand side. Do these steps mentally and speed will follow. Practice is the key word here!

5

658 + 284 658 + 200 = 858 + 80 = 938 + 4 = 942. Here you must be able to recognize and use the addition facts table to add the carry over figure quickly to the previous number. In the sum above, 5 + 8 = 13 so the 800 becomes 900.

826 + 649 826 + 600 = 1426 + 40 = 1466 + 9 = 1475 6 (66 + 9 = 75 using magic square technique). Try the worksheet below using the magic square and addition facts.

Side 1

Side 2

When all the cards are made, arrange the cards as per the columns in the add/sub facts.

Take the cards of the addition fact of one or two numbers at a time, say 2 and 3 only.

Shuffle the cards with side 1 on top like a normal card game.

Select one card.

Suppose the card you select has 2 + 6 on it. Then you must call out the answer as 8.

Check at the back of the card, as the answer is written there.

If you get the right answer give yourself one point, and keep the card by your side.

If your answer is wrong then put the card back in the pack.

Shuffle again and take another card and continue till you know all the facts of the pack.

Add more and more cards till all the facts are done.

You can play this game with your friends too.

Once you know the addition and subtraction facts, you will save time while doing these operations. While you are at it, learn your multiplication tables upto 20. Our brain is amazing but not used fully. So committing certain facts to memory is good for quick recall, when there is limited time.

Speed Multiplication

SPEED MULTIPLICATION To memorize multiplication tables is a good trait indeed. Multiplication can also be done very fast using some other rules based on patterns in Math. In the next few pages I am going to share with you some methods that cut down your calculation time to a half and at the same time, accuracy is not compromised. Let’s check out the rules of simple multiplication by 11 to 19

RULE 1 ZIP-ZAP Multiplication By 11 EXAMPLE 1: 23456 X 11. Steps for Multiplication: As usual, we will begin our multiplication starting from ones place proceeding to the tens, hundreds and so on. Step 1 First put a 0 in front of the leftmost number – 023456 X 11 Step 2 The digit that we will multiply will be denoted as “N” Step 3 The number to its right will be its neighbor “n”. Step 4 In the example above, if I am multiplying 5 by 11, 5 will be called the number “N” while 6, the number to the right, will be its neighbor “n” Step 5 4 will be the neighbor of 3 and 6 has no neighbor at all! Step 6 The Rule is: To the number, add its neighbor on the right hand side. Step 7 FORMULA: (N+n) Step 8 Now instead of multiplying by 11 we will multiply by 1, which is the digit in ones place of the multiplier 11 Step 9 So number (6 x 1) + neighbor (o) = 6 Step 10 Repeat this step for each digit of the multiplicand (number you are multiplying). Understand the steps done below and start enjoying speed while calculating. Check out the steps done in example given below

RULE 10 ZIP-ZAP Multiplication By Multiples Of 11-19 Now that you know how to speed multiply by 11 to 19 let us look at some applications of the same rules to multiply by bigger numbers. *Understand that multiplication of any number by 2 means just doubling each digit starting from the ones place *Dividing by 2 is simply halving the number starting from the left most digits. EXAMPLE 1 238485769x2 =476971538 Now look at this example: 54123 X 22 Since the factors of 22 are 11, 2 (22 = 11 x 2), we can multiply 54123 by 11 first and then double the answer obtained. 0 5 4 1 2 3 X 22 (11 x 2) 54123 x 11 = 595353 (Rule N + n) for factor 11 595353 x 2 = 1190706. Doubling for factor 2 So 54123 X 2 = 1190706 Any big multiplier can be resolved into factors first and then using rules of multiplication, multiply the given number by the factors, one at a time. We used the (N + n) Rule for x 11 first and then doubled each digit of the answer thus obtained, in example 1. EXAMPLE 2 0 3 4 1 2 3 x 36 - Factors of 36 are 18 and 2 (18 x 2 = 36). So use the Rule (8N + n) and then double up the answer obtained, so that you get the final answer. Check this out 0 3 4 1 2 3 x 36 (18 x 2). Multiply first by factor 18 then by factor 2 34123 x 18 = 614214 ......... (8N+n) multiplication by 18 as it is the bigger factor 614214 x 2 = 1228428 ......... (doubling) or multiplying by factor 2 So, 34123 x 36 = 1228428 28 ......... Factors of 28 are 14 and 2 (14 x 2 = 28), 1 so use the Rule (4N + n) and then double up the number thay you abtain.

Multiplication by Multiples

144 ......... Factors are 12 and 12 (12 x 12 = 144), so use the Rule (2N + n) twice! 2 225 ......... Factors are 15 and 15 (15 x 15 = 225), 3 so use the Rule (4N + n) and then double up the answer that you get. 48 ......... Factors are 12, 2 and 2 (12 x 2 x 2 = 48), 4 so use the Rule (2N + n) and then double up the number you get two times for 2 x 2 *Factorize the multiplier and multiply in steps.

CHECKING THE ANSWERS RULE 11 Method 1 : Digit-Sum and Casting Out 9s What is the digit sum of the number 435673? Adding the digits of the number to obtain a single digit is called its digit sum. This can be done as a simple addition, till you get a single digit as shown below. Digit sum of 435673 will be 4 + 3 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 3 = 28. We go on to obtain a single digit for 28 as 2 + 8 = 10, and further as 1 + 0 = 1. So the digit sum (DS) of 435673 is 1 Or knock off the 9s in the number and then add the digits. You can even knock off digits giving a sum of 9. 4 3 5 6 7 3 ......... 5 + 4 = 9, 6 + 3 = 9 So knock it out and add only 7 + 3 = 10, 1 + 0 = 1 (DS is the same as above) Let us find the digit sum of 6 7 5 3 9 2 4 4 ......... 7 + 2, 6 + 3, 5 + 4, 9 these combinations of 9 can be knocked off to get the digit sum as 4 or you may add all the digits to a total of 40, then 4 + 0 = 4 so the digit sum is 4. Casting out nines makes it easier to find the digit sum.

To Check an Answer : Method 1 In order to check if the answer is correct we can use the Digit sum rule. The digit sum of the left hand side (LHS) must equal the digit sum of the right hand side. (RHS) EXAMPLE 1 561 x 121 = 67881 Digit sum of LHS = (5+6+1) x (1+2+1) add digits of each of the two numbers = 12 x 4 = 3 x 4 = 12 (adding digits to get a single digit) = 3 (1+2) Digit sum of RHS = 6 + 7 + 8 + 8 + 1 = 30 = 3 (3+0) So LHS = RHS, and our answer is correct

Checking the Answers

EXAMPLE 2 6734 x 821 Digit sum of LHS = (6+7+3+4) x (8+2+1) = 20 x 11 = 2 x 2 Digit sum of RHS = 5 + 5 + 2 + 8 + 6 + 1 + 4 = 31 = 4 (3+1) So LHS = RHS, and our answer is correct

This check method can be used to check any answer for multiplication, addition and subtraction. For division you must use the formula: Dividend = (divisor x quotient) + remainder

RULE 12 Method 2 : Elevens Rule Checking by this rule for the accuracy of your answer will leave no doubt for error. The rule is simple for a two digit number. Subtract the digit in the tens place FROM the digit in the ones place to get the elevens check number. EXAMPLE: The elevens check number for 79 will be 9 – 7 = 2 But if the number is 97 and the tens digit is greater than the ones digit, you must add 11 to the ones digit and then subtract. So for 97, the working will be : Step 1 : 7 + 11 = 18; Step 2 : 18 – 9 = 9 For a bigger number the method resembles the divisibility test for 11 Let us take the number 284769. We need to add the alternate digits starting from ones place. Number - 2 8 4 7 6 9 Now 9 + 7 + 8 = 24 (odd places) and 6 + 4 + 2 = 12 (even places) Subtract sum of evenly placed digits from sum of oddly placed digits, that is 24 – 12 = 12 This can be still simplified as 2 – 1 = 1 to get a single digit answer So 1 is the elevens check number. Sometimes you may get the sum of the evenly placed digits to be greater than the oddly placed ones. You have to then add 11 to the oddly placed digits and then subtract to get the elevens check number.

Checking the Answers

EXAMPLE 64532 x 12 = 774384 Left hand side (LHS) is 6 4 5 3 2 x 1 2. Start from ones place of the multiplicand 2, 5, 6 are in odd places while 3, 4 are in even places. 2 + 5 + 6 = 13 and 3 + 4 = 7; then 13 – 7 = 6. The elevens check number of the multiplier is 2 – 1 = 1. So 6 X 1 = 6 is the check number. Right hand side (RHS) is 774384. To find the elevens check number we will add 4 + 3 + 7 = 14 and 8 + 4 + 7 = 19. Now since we cannot do 14 – 19 we must add 11 to 14. So (11 + 14) – 19, 25 – 19 = 6 So the elevens check numbers of the two sides are the same and the answer is correct.

Square of a number

Find the digit sum of each number. DS* of multiplicand x DS* of multiplier should be equal to DS* of the product. To check use the formula Dividend = (divisor x quotient) + remainder DS* of the total or the sum should be equal to the DS* of all the numbers added The DS* of the bigger number – the DS* of the smaller number = DS* of the difference DS* of the number multiplied by itself is equal to the DS* of the square number. DS* of the number multiplied itself thrice is equal to the DS* of the cube number.

The word ‘mathematics’ comes from the Greek máthēma, which means learning, study, science. Do you know a word known as Dyscalculia? Dyscalculia means difficulty in learning arithmetic, such as difficulty in understanding numbers, and learning maths fact Notches (cuts or indentation) on animal bones prove that humans have been doing mathematics since around 30,000 BC. What comes after a million, billion and trillion? A quadrillion, quintillion, sextillion, septillion, octillion, nonillion, decillion and undecillion. The number 5 is pronounced as ‘Ha’ in Thai language. 555 is also used by some as slang for ‘HaHaHa’. Different names for the number 0 include zero, nought, naught, nil, zilch and zip. Zero ( 0 ) is the only number which cannot be represented by Roman numerals. Courtesy Google

Speed Multiplication by 9s

RULE 31 ZIP-ZAP Multiplication By 9999 If the number of 9s is equal to the number of digits in the multiplicand, then the multiplication becomes easier! EXAMPLE 1 8721 x 9999 (4-digit number X 4 nines) 8721 is written as .........8720. That is the last digit is reduced by 1. Step 1 Step 2 Then every digit of the new number is subtracted from 9 to get the last 4 digits of the answer. 8721 x 9999 = 8720 / 1(9-8)2(9-7)7(9-2)9(9-0) = 87201729 EXAMPLE 2 4563 x 9999 = 4562 5437 (underlined digits are obtained by subtracting 4562 from 9999) EXAMPLE 3 4712639 x 9999999 = 4712638 5287361 EXAMPLE 4 89320 x 99999 = 89319 10680

RULE 32 If the number of 9s is more than the number of digits in the multiplicand, then the multiplication is slightly different. The steps are: 1 Reduce the number by 1 and write it down.

2 Insert the EXTRA nines. 3 Subtract every digit the number in step 1 from 9

EXAMPLE 1 76943 x 999999 = 76942 9 23057 (the number has 5 digits and it is multiplied by 6 nines. Hence the extra 9 is inserted in between the two sections of the answer.)

Speed Multiplication Using Base 10, 100, 1000

RULE 33 Multiplication Using Base 10 and Its Multiples This method is a gift from Vedic Mathematics. The base numbers used are 10, 100, 1000 which are multiples of 10. The base taken depends on the number of digits involved in multiplication. Basic knowledge: 9 x 8 ( 1D x 1D - base 10), 97 x 99 ( 2D x 2D - base 100), 9945 x 9995 ( 4D x 4D - base 10000 )

RULE 33a EXAMPLE 1 97 x 94 (2D x 2D - base 100) Base: 100 LHS RHS 97 - 3

97 is 3 less than base 100 (-3)

94 - 6 94 is 6 less than base 100 (-6) 91 / 18 RHS : multiply: the right hand numbers (-3 x -6 = 18) LHS : Simplify across : (97 – 6 = 91) or (94 – 3 = 91) The Answer is 9118

The right hand side must have two digit in the answer corresponding to the base 100. Let us work out an example so that the steps are clear.

996 X 998 Base: 1000 LHS RHS 996 - 4 998 - 2 / xxx LHS RHS 996 - 4 998 - 2 / 008 LHS RHS 996 - 4

996 is 4 less than the base 1000 998 is 2 less than the base 1000 RHS answer will be 3 digits (no. of 0 in the base) (- 4 x - 2 = 8) RHS answer = 008 LHS answer : 996 - 2 or 998 - 4 = 994

998 -2 994 / 008

The answer is 994008 Math E Magician

LHS RHS 99992 - 8 - 8 x - 3 = 24 99997 - 3 this is the answer to be written for the RHS / 00024 LHS RHS 99992 - 8 LHS answer: simplify the digits across

99997 - 3 99989 / 00024

(99992 – 3 = 99989; or 99997 - 8 = 99989)

The answer is 9998900024 EXAMPLE 3 999987 x 999990 Base1000000 LHS RHS 999987 - 13 999990 - 10 999977 / 000130

999987 is 13 lesser than base 1000000 (- 13) 999990 is 10 lesser than base 1000000 (- 10) (- 13 x – 10 = 130) – RHS answer LHS answer : (999987 – 10 or 9999990 – 13 = 999977)

The asnwer is 999977000130 Now, if the numbers are GREATER than the base, then the RHS will be positive (+) but the steps remain the same as you can see in the next example.

Speed Multiplication Using Base 10, 100, 1000

RULE 33d Application of base multiplication to other situations. The base that you can take for a multiplication could be a multiple too like (2 x 10 = 20), (3 x 100 = 300), (5 x 1000 = 5000) , (100 á 2 = 50) In Step 1 follow the rule and get the answer for the RHS. Step 2 is the product of the two RHS numbers. In examples 1 – 4 given below, the actual bases are 20, 500, 3000, 50 respectively. Hence you need to follow step 3. In step 3 multiply the LHS answer that you obtained, by the factor that balances the product as per the actual base. In example 1 the answer of step 1 is multiplied by 2, as the base is 20, while for example 4 it is divided by 2 as the base is 50.

RULE 33e EXAMPLE 1 23 x 24 Working Base 10 x 2=20 LHS RHS 23 +3 Step 1 24 +4 27 / 12 Step 2 x2 / 12 Step 3 54(+1) / 2 Step 4 55 / 2

a) 23 is 3 more than base 20 (+3) b) 24 is 4 more than base 20 (+4) c) LHS has a carry-over of 1 d) RHS = 23 + 4 or 24 + 3 = 27 e) Multiply LHS first with 2 as the base is 20: 27 X 2 = 54 f ) Add the carry over to get the final answer: 54 + 1 = 55

RULE 34 Squaring a two digit number with “5� in ones place When a number has a 5 in the ones place, squaring it is very easy if you apply this rule! Let us say we want to find the square of 15. You can do this by multiplying 15 by 15 = 225 to get the answer. OR 1 / 52 Zip-zap Rule: let us write 152 as (1 / 5)2 1 x 2 / 25 The last two digits of the answer will be 25 as 52 = 25 2 / 25 The previous digit 1 must be multiplied by its successor 2 The answer is 225 Let us take some more examples Find the square of 25 2 / 5 = 2 x 3 / 52 = 6 / 25 252 = 625 Find the square of 65 6 / 5 = 6 x 7 / 52 = 42 / 25 652 = 4225 Now that is easy, right?

RULE 35 Squaring any two digit number Using this method you will be able to square numbers up to 99 in a jiffy! EXAMPLES 1 What is the square of 34? 3 4 1) To calculate this, start from the RHS number 4 x 3 4 2) 42 = 4 x 4 = 16. Write 6 and carry over 1. 1 1 5 6 3) cross multiply (4 x 3) x 2 = 24 + 1 = 25.

In the table above, observe the digit in ones places for all the square numbers. The digits 2, 3, 7, 8 are not there in any of the ones places! So a perfect square will never have these four digits in its ones place. Numbers 1 and 9 both have 1 in ones place. Numbers 2 and 8 both have 4 in ones place. Numbers 3 and 7 both have 9 in ones place. Numbers 4 and 6 both have 6 in ones place. Number 5 has a 5 in ones place while 10 has 0 in ones place.

RULE 37 Square Roots by Estimation EXAMPLE 1 Calculate the square root of 2809 * Split the number in groups of 2 digits --------- 28 09 * 28 is between square numbers 25 and 36, so estimated root of 28 = 5 * Square root could have a 3 or 7 in ones place as the square number ends in 9. So square root could be 53 or 57 * Now the square of 50 = 2500 and square of 60 = 3600. * 2809 is nearer 2500 hence the estimated square root is 53 * Check the answer by squaring 53 in the method learned already.

Cubes and Cube Roots

CUBES AND CUBE ROOTS RULE 38 Cube of a Number A number multiplying itself thrice is called a cube number. We will take the help of the algebraic formula: (a + b) 3 = a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3 We will further simplify this formula for our calculation of cubes of numbers. (a + b) 3 = a3 + a2b + ab2 + b3 + 2a2b + 2ab2 (a + b)3 = a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3

The middle two terms a2b + ab2 are doubled

EXAMPLE 1 Using the above, let us calculate the cube of 53. So a = 5, b = 3. 533 = 53 + (52 x 3) + (5 x 32) + 33 taking a = 5, b = 3 27 1350 = 125 + 75 + 45 + 27 a3 + a2b + ab2 + b3 2 2 22500 + 150 + 90 + 2a b + 2ab 3 3 2 2 2 + 1 2 5 0 0 0 53 = 125 + 225 + 135 + 27 a + 3a b + 3ab + b 148877 3 The answer is 53 = 148877 EXAMPLE 2 Let us calculate the cube of 76. So a = 7, b = 6. 763 = 73 + (72 x 6) + (7 x 62) + 63 a = 7 , b = 6 216 7560 = 343 + 294 + 252 + 216 a3 + a2b + ab2 + b3 2 2 88200 + 588 + 504 + 2a b + 2ab 3 2 2 3 + 3 4 3 0 0 0 = 343 + 882 + 756 + 216 a + 3a b + 3ab + b 438976 The answer is 438976 EXAMPLE 3 calculate the cube of 84 6 4 843 = 512 + 256 + 128 + 64 + 512 + 256 3840 76800 = 512 + 768 + 384 + 64 + 512000 The answer is 592704 592704

In the table above, observe the digit in ones places for all the cube numbers. Cubes of numbers 1, 4, 5, 6, 9 and 10 all have 1, 4, 5, 6, 9, 0 respectively in one’s place. Number with 2 in its ones place will have a 8 in ones place of its cube. Number with 8 in its ones place will have a 2 in ones place of its cube. Number with 3 in its ones place will have a 7 in ones place of its cube. Number with 7 in its ones place will have a 3 in ones place of its cube. You need to know the rules above and the table of cubes 1 – 10 very well to do your mental calculations of cube roots. Let us take a look at some examples. EXAMPLE 1 What is the cube root of 262144? • Split the number in groups of 3 digits 262 • Digit in one’s place in the rightmost group 144 is 4 cube root .4 • 262 is between cubes of 6 and 7 6 • So digit for cuberoot of 262 will be 6 • Hence the cube root of 262114 will be 64

144 4 4

EXAMPLE 2 What is the cube root of 50653? • Split the number in groups of 3 digits starting from the right. 50 • Here the left group has 2 digits which is acceptable as the number has 5 digits. 3 • Digit in one’s place in the rightmost group 653 is 3, so cube root is 7• • 27 < 50 < 64 ( between cubes of 3 and 4) So the digit for 50 will be 3 • Hence the cube root of 50653 will be 37

For a table of 64 we must take the help of a 4 times table. • Write the multiplication table of 4 • Put a * where the tens place value changes • Observe that the place value of tens place changes 4 times for the table of 4 • Write column B for the table of 64 • Add 6 for every step down but 7 for the step that has a star. • Your last number ( here it is 640 ) must be 10 times the first number: 64 x 10 = 640

You can generate any table in this manner. The method can be extended to 3 or 4 digit multiplication tables too. Below, the multiplication table of 236 is generated from the table of 6. Remember wherever there is a * it denotes a carry-over of 1 for the next column. Steps 1

Write the table of 6 putting * for places where the number of the tens place changes.

2

Rewrite column B in column E

3

In column D go down adding 3 for every step without *

4

Add 4 if there is an * in coloum E ( denoted in red )

5

In column D write a single digit only with an * for the carry-over. That is if your sum is 11, write it as 1* and carry on the addition with 1 with the * as the carry-over for the next column.

6

The final column C is obtained by adding 2 as you go down. Add 3 when you come across an * in column D

7

Observe that the top line is the clue to the number of carry-overs. The column with 6 on top has 6 carry-overs, while the column with 3 has 3 carry-overs. A good way of knowing you are on the right track!!!

Divisibility Tests for Prime Numbers

RULE 41 Divisibility tests for Prime Numbers A divisibility test is time saving for factorization for LCM, HCF or also for reducing numbers by common terms. Common tests for numbers 2 – 10 are known by most students. Divisibility tests for prime numbers like 7, 13, 17 and so on follow a special pattern. For these numbers we need a check multiplier to begin with. To find the check multiplier we must find a multiple of the given prime number, with 1 or 9 in ones place. A check multiplier with 1 in ones place is negative. A check multiplier with 9 in ones place is positive. EXAMPLE 1 Find whether 2135 is divisible by 7. • First we must find the check multiplier for 7. • The multiples of 7 with 1 or 9 in ones place are 21 and 49 respectively. • With 21 the check multiplier will be (– 2). • With 49 the check multiplier will be (+ 5) that is 1 more than the digit in tens place. • To use the check multiplier (- 2) 2 1 3 5 the number to be tested 2 1 3 /5 x (- 2) the last digit x check multiplier, 5 x (-2) = -10 - 1 0 subtracting 10 from 213 we get, 213 – 10 = 203 2 0 / 3 x (- 2) the last digit x check multiplier, 3 x (-2) = - 6 -6 subtracting 6 from 20 we get, 20 – 6 = 14 1 4 14 is divisible by 7 so 2135 is also divisible by 7 Using the check multiplier +5 2 1 3 5 the number to be tested 2 1 3 /5 x (+5) the last digit x check multiplier, 5 x (+5) = 25 +2 5 adding 25 to 213 we get, 213 + 25 = 238 2 3 /8 x (+5) the last digit x check multiplier, 8 x (+5) = 40 4 0 adding 40 to 23 we get, 20 – 6 = 63 6 3 6 3 is divisible by 7 so 2135 is also divisible by 7

Divisibility Tests for Prime Numbers

The remainder must be a multiple of the divisor or it could be a zero to conclude that the given number is divisible by the divisor. EXAMPLE 2 Is 496321 divisible by 7 Using the check multiplier +5 4 9 6 3 2 1 the number to be tested 4 9 6 3 2 / 1 x 5 the last digit x check multiplier, 1 x 5 = 5 + 5 add 5 to the number 4 9 6 3 / 7 x 5 the last digit x check multiplier, 7 x 5 = 35 + 3 5 add 35 to the number 4 9 9 / 8 x 5 the last digit x check multiplier, 8 x 5 = 40 + 4 0 add 40 to the number 5 3 / 9 x 5 the last digit x check multiplier, 9 x 5 = 45 + 4 5 add 45 to the number 9 / 8 x 5 the last digit x check multiplier, 8 x 5 = 40 + 4 0 add 40 to the number 4 9 49 is divisible by 7, so 496321 will be divisible by 7 EXAMPLE 2 Is 3913 divisible by 13 The multiples of 13 with 1 or 9 in ones place are 91 and 39 respectively. So the check multipliers of 13 are (- 9) or (+ 4) 3 9 1 / 3 x 4 check multiplier +4 + 1 2 4 0 / 3 x 4 + 1 2 5 2 52 is divisible by 13 so 3913 is also divisible by 1 The same number can be checked for divisibility using the other check multiplier 3 9 1 / 3 x - 9 check multiplier - 9 - 2 7 3 6 / 4 x - 9 - 3 6 0 remainder = 0, so 13 is divisible by 13

DIVISION RULE 42 Short Division When doing prime factorizing for HCF or LCM, you divide the number by its factor. This oral division or short division should be mastered by practice and knowledge of divisibility tests. By short division the quotient and remainder can be obtained. It is done without any working or orally. EXAMPLE 1 Find the quotient and remainder when 65421 is divided by 6 6 6 5 54 2 21 1 0 9 0 3 – remainder 3 Quotient 10903 The quotient is written down as you go from left to right. The first digit 6 is divided by 6 and quotient 1 is written below 6. The next digit is 5 so dividing by 6 we get a 0 and 5 is carried forward to get the working number as 54. The next digit of the quotient 9 is obtained when 54 is divided by 6. Again 2 divided by 6 gives a quotient of 0, carrying it forward. Lastly 21 divided by 6, quotient is 3 and remainder is 3. As there is a remainder the number is not divisible by 6. EXAMPLE 2 Divide 65421 by 8 8 6 5 14 62 61 8 1 7 7 – remainder 5 Quotient 8177

SPEED DIVISION Dividing two numbers without any working saves a lot of time. Of course in the middle school, Grades 4 – 6, where a question is mainly testing your division skill, you must do the traditional long division to get your marks. The method shown below is taught in Vedic Math books and requires oral work which gives you the quotient quickly. Let us see how that is done.

RULE 43 ZIP-ZAP Division by 9 EXAMPLE 1 Divide 1221 by 9 9 1 2 2 1 * Bring down the first digit as the quotient. +1 +3 +5 * Add it to the second digit, 1 + 2 = 3 to get the next digit Q 1 3 5 6 * Continue in the same pattern : 2 + 3 = 5 , 5 + 1 = 6 The answer is 135.6 NOTE THIS IMORTANT RULE * If the last digit of the quotient is less than seven, write the answer as it is. * If the last digit of the quotient is 7 or greater than 7, we must follow one more Rule which is as follows : * If the last digit of the quotient is between 7 to 16, add 1 to it to get the final answer. * Now follow the pattern as given below If the last digit is from 17 to 26 ----- to the last digit add 2 27 to 36 ----- to the last digit add 3 37 to 46 ----- to the last digit add 4 47 to 56 ----- to the last digit add 5 57 to 66 ----- to the last digit add 6 and so on.

RULE 45 ZIP-ZAP Division by a Two Digit Divisors When dividing any number by a divisor of 2 digits, we have to remember certain rules and patterns that must be followed. For a divisor of 2 digits, the position of the decimal point has to be determined in the beginning. The position is between the ones and tens place. Example: If 54782 is divided by 62 the decimal point is between 8 and 2, that is 5478/2 and denoted by a /. The digit in the tens place is taken for active division, while the digit in ones place is adjusted to get a working dividend. The pattern of working goes as shown in the working of the following sums. When we divide by 62, we really divide by 6 and make adjustments for the second digit of the divisor. Follow the steps closely.

The division has now a quotient up to one decimal point. When you learn to do division by this method, you will be able to do it in one step as all the small subtractions can be done orally saving a lot of time. Till you master the method you may require write down the subtractions, but later on writing just the working dividend (WD) will suffice. You will do a 1 step division as soon as you are confident with the steps.

RULE 46 3D Divisor When dividing any number by a divisor of 3 digits, rules and patterns that must be followed are slightly different from the previous rule. Let us check out the stepwise method. For a divisor of 3 digits, the position of the decimal point has to be determined in the beginning. The position is between the hundreds and tens digit. Example: If 54782 is divided by 362 the decimal point is between 7 and 8, that is 547/82 and denoted by a /. The digit in the hundreds place of the divisor is taken for active division. The digit in tens and ones place is adjusted to get a working dividend. The pattern of working is similar for all the digit of the quotient. Active divisor is the hundreds digit of the divisor Divide 1 or 2 digits of the dividend by the active divisor and write the quotient, Q

Q x digit in tens place of divisor has to be subtracted from the dividend digit, to give the working dividend for the next digit of the quotient. When you have 2 digits in the quotient the working is : (New Q x digit in tens place) + (Previous Q x digit in ones place of divisor) Subtract the above from working dividend

EXAMPLE 1 Divide 7465321 by 362 2 362 7 4 5 6 3 / 2 1 *7 รท 3 = Q2, carry forward 1. - 6 14 *multiply the quotient 2 by the 1 -12 tens digit in the divisor, 2 x 6 = 12 2 *subtract the product 12 from 14 to get the working dividend 2

The method given below simplifies addition. Let us learn it with the help of an example. EXAMPLE 1 Add the following 4* 2* 3* 4* 2 5 6* 7 Start adding from ones column. 8* 4* 5 6*

7 + 6 = 13, put a dot or star as you cross 10, carry over 3

7 5 1 3 3 + 3 + 8 = 14, put a star for 10, carry over 4 2* 0 1 8*

4 + 7 = 11, put a star for 10 carry over 1

9* 5* 6* 7*

1 + 3 + 9 = 13, put a star for 10

5 2 6 3*

write 3 as your sum of the column

+ 6* 0 4* 9 Count the stars and carry them to the next (tens) column (4*) 4 1 4 3 3

4 + 6= 10, Put a star for the 10

5 +1 + 1 + 6 = 13, Put a star for the 10 and carry ahead 3

3 + 6 + 4 = 13, Put a star for the 10 write 3 as your column sum. Count the stars and carry them to the next (hundreds)column. (3*)

3 + 5 = 8, 8 + 4 = 12, Put a star for the 10 and carry ahead 2.

2 + 5 = 7, 7 + 0 + 5 = 12, Put a star for the 10 and carry ahead 2. 2 + 2 = 4. Write 4 as your column sum. Count the stars and carry them to the next (thousands) column (2*)

2 + 2 = 4, 4 + 8 = 12, Put a star for the 10 and carry ahead 2 2 + 7 + 2 = 11. Put a star for the 10 and carry ahead 1.

1 + 9 = 10, Put a star for the 10. 6 + 5 = 11 Put a star for the 10

and write 1 as your column sum.

Count the stars and put the number as the last digit. (4*) The answer is 41433 Math E Magician
