 10 Fast Maths Tricks and Shortcuts
Published on Saturday, January 14, 2017

Today I am going to summarise all the maths tricks that will speed up your
calculation speed. I used them in CAT and IBPS exam. I am sure that these
tricks will help you increase your score. I have written many articles in detail on
these topics. Click on respective links to to get details.

LIST OF COOL MATHS TRICKS

Squaring
In this simple trick, we need to modify the equation and make the units digit
zero. After all, it is easy to multiply when units digit is zero.

For example - Find square of 43

= (43+3) × (43-3) + (3×3)
=(46×40) + 9
= (460×4) + 9
= 1840 + 9 = 1849

Multiplication
Vedic maths gave us the easiest method to do complex multiplications quickly.
This method can be quickly explained with an example.

Multiply 62 with 32
Step 1

Step 2
Step 3

Detailed post on Multiplication technique (Multiplication of 3 digit numbers)

Read quick Multiplication technique without using complicated Vedic maths

Multiplication with 5
Simply multiply the number by 10 and then divide it by 2.
For example 99×5= 990/2= 495

Multiplication with 4
Multiplication with 9
Multiplication with 6

Multiplication with 99
Multiply the number with 100 and then minus same number from the result.
Let's take an example
Multiply 32×99 = 3200 - 32 = 3168

Mixture
Questions related to mixtures can be easily solved by alligation method. By
using alligation we can wide arrange of maths questions. Let me explain this
with a simple example

Example
Price of wine of $60 per litre. If Samuel is adding water with and selling the
mixture for $40 per litre. Profit margin remains same. What is the ratio of water
and wine in the mixture.

Detailed post on Alligation method (Application on various types of questions)

Square root
Best method to find the square root of large numbers is by dividing the number
into parts. Let's take an example
Find square √ 1936
√ 1936 = √ 4 × √ 484 = √ 4 × √ 4 × √ 121 = 2×2×11 = 44

Time and Work

Every question in time and work chapter can be solved easily by finding the
efficiency of workers or subject (such as pipes).

For example - A takes 10 days to complete a job. B takes 20 days to complete

the same job. In how many days they will complete the job if they work
together?

A's efficiency = 100/10 = 10% per day

B's efficiency = 100/20 = 5% per days

A and B can do 15% of the work in a day if they work together. So they can do
the whole job in 100/15 = 6.66 days or 6 days and 18 hours.

Detailed post on Time and Work chapter (Practice questions)

Profit and Loss

In case of profit
25% of Cost Price (1/4 of CP) = 20% of Selling Price (1/5 of SP)
Similarly, 1/3 of CP = 1/2 of SP

In case of loss
25% of Selling Price (1/4 of SP) = 20% of Cost Price (1/5 of CP)
Similarly, 1/3 of SP = 1/2 of CP

Profit and loss practice questions

Number Series
In Number series questions, you need to find the pattern of series.

Let's take an example : 16, 26, 6, 46, -34, ?

There is a pattern in the difference between the numbers in the series.

Every consecutive difference is multiplied by -2.

Similar questions are asked in the exams.

Estimation
That's the most important technique. This is not a secret that every successful
candidate is using this technique during exams.

Example - 112 × 92
Simply 112 × 9 = 1008
Add a zero 10080 and then add 224 to 10080.
Answer is 10304

You need to do all the calculations in your brain. Don't use paper. You need to
divide complex calculations into parts and solve it in your brain without paper.
That's how toppers do complex calculations during exams.

Right now it will be difficult for you to use this method but with practice, you
will be able to do any complicated calculation within seconds.
