We, Indians are always known for our brilliant calculating powers. We are known for our Maths Tricks. Ramanujan, Aryabhatta, Shakuntla Devi, and many more geniuses are the product of our own country. What made them so brilliant? How were they so excellent at solving more than 10-digit numbers in seconds? And there must be so much knowledge they have left for their coming generations. We have Maths Tricks for you to make you a Mathematics genius in less than 15 days.
What is Vedic Maths?
In the simplest words, Vedic Maths is a collection of techniques and Maths Tricks to solve mathematics calculations in an easy and faster way. The easiest way to execute arithmetic operations quickly and more efficiently.
How about you start calculating long equations in a fun way without any stress? Vedic Maths will allow you to do that. Not just division and Multiplication but there are techniques even to solve complex differentiation and integration problems. On top of it, you can easily discard pen and paper from your system and switch on to brain calculations. You will magically reduce silly mistakes from your calculations automatically.
Let’s talk about those fundamentals? Let us share with you some brilliant Vedic Tricks that will make you a genius. We have secrets that will allow you to calculate complex Maths problems 10X faster.
Fun Fact: According to Wikipedia, People with unusually high ability to perform mental calculations and Maths Tricks are called mental calculators or lightning calculators.
Find the Square of a number ending with 5 in seconds
Ok, so it is very easy to square 25. That must be on your tips or you can directly multiply 25 × 25. But, what about 725? Here, Vedic Maths Tricks come into action. Let’s see how:
Step 1: Multiply Ten’s digit number with its succeeding (next) number.
= 72 × (72 + 1)
= 72 × 73 = 5256
Step 2: Find the square of the unit digit. Here, our unit digit is 5.
= The Square of 5 will be 25.
Step 3: Write down the answers to step 1 and step 2 together.
= 525625. Here’s your answer
Yes! It is that easy. In just three steps, you can square any digit ending with 5 in a few seconds.
Divide a large number (any digit) by 5
These Vedic Maths Tricks are by far the easiest of all the tricks mentioned here. Yes, you can divide any large or small numbers with 5 in a jiffy. Hey! Wait. We are not just talking about numbers ending with 5. But, other numbers as well. Actually, any number with any number of digits.
Let’s divide 67834 by 5
Step 1: Multiply the number by 2.
= 67834 × 2 = 135668
Step 2: Move a decimal point to the left.
= 13566.8
The left side of the decimal point is your answer. Oh! Yes. Just in two steps. You got your answer: 13566.
We dare you to try the same Maths Trick with larger numbers and do let us know, how it worked for you.
Multiply any 2-Digit number by 11
This is again a very simple trick that will allow to you quickly multiply any two-digit number with 11. Let’s understand this in a better way with the help of an example:
98 ×11 (It’s just a one-step trick. Hold on! Don’t get this excited.)
Step 1: 9 (9 + 8) 8
= 1078.
Did you notice that the sum of these digits was 17? So, we have only considered 7 in between and 1 carried to add up to 9 and it became 10. 8 got copied down as it is. And Voila! You got your answer. Aren’t you finding these Maths Tricks super fun? Have, a look at this video for a better understanding.
Multiply any number by 12
You won’t believe that this ‘multiply any number by 12’ trick can b applied anywhere. If you try to multiply a large number, let’s say, 765843 by 12, then it will take at least 3-5 minutes in the calculation. And, will definitely require pen and paper. But, what if we say that you can do the same calculation in your head? Have a look at a few of those Maths Tricks to help you do that:
Chalo, let’s take the same number, 765843. We have to multiply it by 12.
Step 1: Start from the unit digit and double it.
= 3 + 3 = 6 (Keep it side)
Step 2: Now, double the next digit and add the result to the digit on the right.
= 4 + 4 = 8 ; 8 + 3 = 11. Keep the unit digit and carry forward the ten’s digit. (That means, keep 1 and carry forward another 1 to the left side.)
Step 3: Now double the next digit 8 and add the result to the digit on the right.
= 8 + 8 = 16 ; and then, 16 + 4 = 20 (keep 0 and carry forward 2 to the left side.)
9190116
Step 4: Now double the next digit, that is 5.
= 5 + 5 = 10 ; add to the digit to the right ; 10 + 8 = 18 ; Plus the carry forward digit that is 2 in it. You get 20
Now carry forward 2 to the next digit in the left.
Step 5: Next number in the series is 6.
= 6 + 6 = 12 ; Add the carry forward that is 2. 12 + 2 =14 ; Now, plus the number in the right. 14 + 5 = 19 ( Keep 9 here and carry forward 1.)
Step 6: Same you will do till the end. Double the digit. Add the carry forward and add the number to the right. This is it.
Step 6: Combine all the numbers you get in all the steps. You will get your digit: 9190116 is your answer.
Have you seen, how easy it was? Stay tuned, we have so many more Maths Tricks to give you thunder of surprise. In case, you want to learn these tricks one on one, we have tutors for you.
Multiply Two-digit numbers in just 3 seconds
Yes, you can multiply any two-digit numbers in just a few seconds and that is too without picking pen and paper. Isn’t it wonderful? Let us tell you how with the help of some Maths Tricks:
Let’s say we have two numbers, 94 and 96. First of all, look at these numbers with respect to 100. For example,
100 – 2 =98 ; 100 – 3 = 97
Now, you have to cross multiply
Step 1: 98— (—02)
Step 2: 97—(—03)
Step 3: 97–2/ 06
= 9506
Let’s take one more example and understand this kind of Maths Tricks with the help of a video given below: 94 × 96
Find the square root of a number in a jiffy
Ok, till now we have learned easy Maths Tricks like we know that how to square a number in the above method. It was easy. Isn’t it? But when it comes to square root big numbers, you sweat? Right? Let us make that easy for you. By following some steps, you can easily square root any digit number. Let’s take 1764.
At first instance, it might seem to be Impossible to find the square root without picking up pen and paper but what if we tell you that it is absolutely possible?
We have so many Maths Tricks to do this. The easiest of all, we are telling you today:
√1764
Step 1: See the unit digit number, here it is 4. Now in the series of squares from 1 to 10, there are two numbers, 2 and 8 which have squares ending with 4. So, keep 2 and 8 aside and move on to the next step.
Step 2: Take the first two digits of 1764. Yes, 17. Now, think of the nearest square. 17 lies between two squares, 16 and 25. So, there can be 4² or 5².
Step 3: Now, there can be two possibilities of the square root of 1764. Either, it can be 42 (keeping initial and end digits together) or it can be 48 (second possibility).
Step 5: In this step, you have to think of a nearby square of 5. So, it is 45. Let’s find the square of 45.
Step 6: Square of 45 will have ten’s and unit digit 25 and for initial digits, we already know the trick to multiply 4 with its successor. 4 × 5 = 20. You get your answer, 2025.
Step 7: Now, we had two possibilities, 42 and 48. So, the answer will be 42 in comparison to 2025.
We hope that with a little practice initially, you can easily crack squaring any large number within a few seconds. Also, you may take help from the video given below:
Find Percent or any big number in a minute
This one is the easiest of all and our personal favorite among all the Maths Tricks we have learned till now. The reason: We have seen so many students struggling with squaring large numbers and taking more than 10 minutes in doing so, which is illogical. But, they don’t know the Maths Tricks so ten minutes are not a big deal for them. The pen and pencil method is the only way they know.
We have a better way. From now on, let’s find a percentage our way:
Let’s say, we have to find 10% of 45609. Such a big number, no? but what if we say that you have to only divide the number by 10?
Step1 (Single-step solution for Maths Tricks): Divide the number by 10. You get your answer: 4560.9
Now, if you have to find 20% of the same number.
Step 1: Multiply the 10% of the number by 2. The answer: 9121.8
Same in the case of 30%
Step 1: Multiply the 10% of the number by 2. Your answer is: 13682.7
So on, and so forth. Practice these Maths Tricks with your siblings and surprise them with your superpowers. For better understanding, you can always take the help of our videos.
