We all know the trick when multiplying by ten – add 0 to the end of the number, but did you
know there is an equally easy trick for multiplying a two digit number by 11? This is it:
Take the original number and imagine a space between the two digits (in this example we will
use 52:
5_2
Now add the two numbers together and put them in the middle:
5_(5+2)_2
If the numbers in the middle add up to a 2 digit number, just insert the second number and add 1
to the first:
9_(9+9)_9
(9+1)_8_9
10_8_9
2. Quick Square
If you need to square a 2 digit number ending in 5, you can do so very easily with this trick.
Mulitply the first digit by itself + 1, and put 25 on the end. That is all!
2x3=6
625
3. Multiply by 5
Most people memorize the 5 times tables very easily, but when you get in to larger numbers it
gets more complex – or does it? This trick is super easy.
Take any number, then divide it by 2 (in other words, halve the number). If the result is whole,
add a 0 at the end. If it is not, ignore the remainder and add a 5 at the end. It works everytime:
2682 x 5 = (2682 / 2) & 5 or 0
13410
5887 x 5
29435
4. Multiply by 9
This one is simple – to multiple any number between 1 and 9 by 9 hold both hands in front of
your face – drop the finger that corresponds to the number you are multiplying (for example 9×3
– drop your third finger) – count the fingers before the dropped finger (in the case of 9×3 it is 2)
then count the numbers after (in this case 7) – the answer is 27.
5. Multiply by 4
This is a very simple trick which may appear obvious to some, but to others it is not. The trick is
to simply multiply by two, then multiply by two again:
If you need to leave a 15% tip, here is the easy way to do it. Work out 10% (divide the number
by 10) – then add that number to half its value and you have your answer:
7. Tough Multiplication
If you have a large number to multiply and one of the numbers is even, you can easily subdivide
to get to the answer:
8. Dividing by 5
Dividing a large number by five is actually very simple. All you do is multiply by 2 and move
the decimal point:
195 / 5
2978 / 5
To subtract a large number from 1,000 you can use this basic rule: subtract all but the last
number from 9, then subtract the last number from 10:
1000
-648
answer: 352
Bonus: Percentages
Yanni in comment 23 gave an excellent tip for working out percentages, so I have taken the
liberty of duplicating it here:
So, it follows that 7 PERCENT of 100, is 7. (7 for each hundred, of only 1 hundred).
8 % of 100 = 8. 35.73% of 100 = 35.73
But how is that useful??
Back to the 7% of 300 question. 7% of the first hundred is 7. 7% of 2nd hundred is also 7, and
yep, 7% of the 3rd hundred is also 7. So 7+7+7 = 21.
Break down every number that’s asked into questions of 100, if the number is less then 100, then
move the decimal point accordingly.
EXAMPLES:
8%200 = ? 8 + 8 = 16.
8%250 = ? 8 + 8 + 4 = 20.
8%25 = 2.0 (Moving the decimal back).
15%300 = 15+15+15 =45.
15%350 = 15+15+15+7.5 = 52.5
Also it’s usefull to know that you can always flip percents, like 3% of 100 is the same as 100%
of 3.

Impress your friends with mental Math tricks
November 11th, 2007 | by Sol |
See Math tricks on video at the Wild About Math! mathcasts page.
_____________________
Being able to perform arithmetic quickly and mentally can greatly boost your self-esteem,
especially if you don’t consider yourself to be very good at Math. And, getting comfortable with
arithmetic might just motivate you to dive deeper into other things mathematical.
This article presents nine ideas that will hopefully get you to look at arithmetic as a game, one in
which you can see patterns among numbers and pick then apply the right trick to quickly doing
the calculation.
Don’t be discouraged if the tricks seem difficult at first. Learn one trick at a time. Read the
description, explanation, and examples several times for each technique you’re learning. Then
make up some of your own examples and practice the technique.
As you learn and practice the tricks make sure you check your results by doing multiplication the
way you’re used to, until the tricks start to become second nature. Checking your results is
critically important: the last thing you want to do is learn the tricks incorrectly.
2. Multiplying by 11
To multiply a number by 11 you add pairs of numbers next to each other, except for the numbers
on the edges.
Let me illustrate:
First write down the 6 then add 6 to its neighbor on the left, 3, to get 9.
The answer comes from these sums and edge numbers: (3)(3+2)(2+5)(5+4)(4) = 35794.
To multiply by 25 you multiply by 100 (just add two 0’s to the end of the number) then divide by
4, since 100 = 25×4. Note: to divide by 4 your can just divide by 2 twice, since 2×2 = 4.
To multiply by 125, you multipy by 1000 then divide by 8 since 8×125 = 1000. Notice that 8 =
2×2x2. So, to divide by 1000 add three 0’s to the number and divide by 2 three times.
This trick only works if you’ve memorized or can quickly calculate the squares of numbers. If
you’re able to memorize some squares and use the tricks described later for some kinds of
numbers you’ll be able to quickly multiply together many pairs of numbers that differ by 2, or 4,
or 6.
When two numbers differ by two their product is always the square of the number in between
them minus 1.
If two numbers differ by 4 then their product is the square of the number in the middle (the
average of the two numbers) minus 4.
If the two numbers differ by 6 then their product is the square of their average minus 9.
If a number ends in 5 then its square always ends in 25. To get the rest of the product take the
left digit and multiply it by one more than itself.
35×35 ends in 25. We get the rest of the product by multiplying 3 by one more than 3. So, 3×4 =
12 and that’s the rest of the product. Thus, 35×35 = 1225.
To calculate 65×65, notice that 6×7 = 42 and write down 4225 as the answer.
6. Multiplying together 2-digit numbers where the first digits are the same and the last
digits sum to 10
Let’s say you want to multiply 42 by 48. You notice that the first digit is 4 in both cases. You
also notice that the other digits, 2 and 8, sum to 10. You can then use this trick: multiply the first
digit by one more than itself to get the first part of the answer and multiply the last digits
together to get the second (right) part of the answer.
An illustration is in order:
To calculate 42×48: Multiply 4 by 4+1. So, 4×5 = 20. Write down 20.
Multiply together the last digits: 2×8 = 16. Write down 16.
Notice that for this particular example you could also have noticed that 42 and 48 differ by 6 and
have applied technique number 4.
Another example: 64×66. 6×7 = 42. 4×6 = 24. The product is 4224.
A final example: 86×84. 8×9 = 72. 6×4 = 24. The product is 7224
32×32. The first part of the answer comes from squaring 3 and 2.
3×3=9. 2×2 = 4. Write down 0904. Notice the extra zeros. It’s important that every square in the
partial product have two digits.
Multiply the digits, 2 and 3, together and double the whole thing. 2×3x2 = 12.
Add a zero to get 120. Add 120 to the partial product, 0904, and we get 1024.
56×56. The partial product comes from 5×5 and 6×6. Write down 2536.
One more example: 67×67. Write down 3649 as the partial product.
67×67=3649+840 = 4489.
There are cases when you’re multiplying two numbers together and one of the numbers is even.
In this case you can divide that number by two and multiply the other number by 2. You can do
this over and over until you get to multiplication this is easy for you to do.
Another example: 12×15 = 6×30 = 6×3 with a 0 at the end so it’s 180.
48×17 = 24×34 = 12×68 = 6×136 = 3×272 = 816. (Being able to calculate that 3×27 = 81 in your
head is very helpful for this problem.)
9. Multiplying by a power of 2
To multiply a number by 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, or some other power of 2 just keep doubling the product
as many times as necessary. If you want to multiply by 16 then double the number 4 times since
16 = 2×2x2×2.
Practice these tricks and you’ll get good at solving many different kinds of arithmetic problems
in your head, or at least quickly on paper. Half the fun is identifying which trick to use.
Sometimes more than one trick will apply and you’ll get to choose which one is easiest for a
particular problem.

Hey there!
Just wanted to stop by and say thanks for a great post and read - math doesn’t have to be
boring!
Alex,
You’re quite welcome. Glad you liked it.
Sol
Hey Sol i don’t expect to be using them to impress anybody, but some of those
techniques will come in very handy. Thanks a lot. I’ll give it a Stumble so others can
learn them too.
Karen,
Sol
WOW!!!
That is neat…
Very cool - I plan to use this as often as possible. By the way there is a minor typo…
“So, 46×99 = 4600x(100-1) = 4600-46 = 4554.” should read “So, 46×99 = 46x(100-1) =
4600-46 = 4554.”
that’s ok though - this page is so cool i think i’ll let this one slide.
Alan,
I’m glad you like the page. I’m not seeing the error, though. Your correction looks to me
the same as what I wrote. Please elaborate.
Thanks.
Multiplying by 11 is easier when adjusting the rule for multiplying by 9. Just think of 11
as (10+1)
So 436 × 11 = 4360 + 436 = 4796…that’s the simpler way of explaining why the digits
add up to each other like you wrote:
4360
+ 436
—–
4796
@IB - yes, your way of showing why this “adding the pair” approach for multiplying by
11 is right on.
Fred, Alan:
These are just retarded, any idiot could think them up…
Rob,
Shao Han,
Can you recommend any books in English where I could learn about what Math Chinese
students learn?

I assume you’re trying to use technique #4 in the article. That technique only works when
the two numbers differ by a small even amount and when you can easily calculate the
square of the number in the middle of the two numbers (i.e. the average).
In your example of 56×17 I see what you’re trying to do but it’s different than this trick.
Let a=56
Let b=17
I see that you added 7 to 56 and subtracted 7 from 17 so that you could multiply by 10.
That’s a good idea.
What you could do with what you’ve noticed is to say that 56×17 = 56x(10+7) = 56×10 +
56×7
= 560+392 = 952.
everyone should already know this in my opinion. it’s basic basic math.
I agree that everyone should know things like how to multiply by 9 or 11. However, the
method used to achieve the answer may be quite different. I was taught multiplication
and agree that it is basic math, however I was never taught “tricks” such as this; basically
easy ways to remember how to multiply certain numbers. I am horrible with math so
ordinarily I cannot do multiplication in my head. However, with these tips, I may get
better at it.
@Alex: Knowing these tricks is largely about having a relationship with numbers. I’m
glad you have it but not everyone does.
@Amanda: Do report back on how these techniques help you if they do. The Vedic Math
approach allows people to do multiplication without knowing more than up to 5×5 in
their multiplication tables. I’ll post some Vedic Math techniques in the future.
If you follow the acronym PEMDAS you would do what is in the parenthesis first and
then multiply which would give you 9×9. You should have stated you need to use the
distributive method. Which would mean it would read (9×10)-(9×1)= 90-9= 81.
This is a great system developed a long time ago by Jakow Trachtenberg whilst in a Nazi
camp. More info here; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trachtenberg_system
this works all the way up to 9 x 9, but if you’re in elementary school, it can come in
handy.
take the number you are multiplying 9 by, and subtract one. then figure out what number
plus that number equals nine.
put the first and second answer beside each other and you get tour answer.
it’s simpler than it sounds…..
example:
9x7=?
7-1=6
6+3=9
the answer is 63!
9x3=?
3-1=2
2+7=9
the answer is 27!
Well let me put the technique #4. Generically it uses the fact that (a+b)*(a-b) = a^2 - b^2.
Here b is half of the difference between the numbers, hence a is the average. In the
example where difference is 6, the minus 9 comes coz (6/2)^2 = 9. Similary it can be
done for large differences also, but it depends how comfortable is one is with squaring
numbers.
I love this!
There is one problem with technique #6 though:
Take 81*89 where the first digits are equal, and where the last digits’ sum is 10.
By applying your method the answer should be: (8*9)(9*1) which gives 729, when the
correct answer is 7209. This happens in all cases where the product of the last digits is
less than 10 (ie with 9 and 1), so a quick fix would be to always make sure you have two
digits in the product, and if not then add a zero in front.
Oh!
I just dicovered that the problem I mentioned above also applies to technique #7!
If the square of the second number is less than 10, you also have to add a zero before it in
order to get the right answer:
Wrong:
92^2
=> 180 =>360
814
360
1174
Right:
92^2
=> 180 => 360
8104
360
8464
This is great for “impressing” the somewhat math smart girls. I’m sure that the math
wizzes already know this.

very nice math trick.. wish i had known when i was in school.. if you ask me, i would
suggest to put them in elementary school’s curriculum
A fantastic work! I didn’t just like it, I loved it. I have so much respect and appreciation
for people like you who spend their time doing something productive on the net.
Thanks man!
finally :)!!
have never been good with numbers, but these things do help quite a bit. how come we
were never taught this at school???

Anyone who has taken CAT exam in India know all these techniques and more.
:%s/math/maths/g
amazing tricks!
=7396
@ EPIc
my little brother when he was 7 taught me (age 21) the easiest way to multiply by 9 (only
works up to 9×9):
Hold your ten fingers out in front of you. Now let’s say we multiply 9×3.
Starting from your left pinkie, count three fingers (end up at your left middle finger).
Fold it down. Now read your fingers. 2 (fold) 7. 27.
Try 9×6. Count from left pinkie, end up at right thumb. Fold down. Read… five fingers,
fold, four fingers. 54.
EASY!
And to all of you from China, India, etc, it’s great that your primary schools taught math
tricks. But many (most?) in America do not, and your comments are not constructive,
almost hurtful. I go to MIT yet I still can’t do basic arithmitic in my head. Don’t belittle
people because they want to learn- it’s never too late to learn!
cool
@ naomi
You’re not quite right about that finger trick- I use it too, and it can be easily adapted to
9×10-9×20 (it works higher than this too but takes some playing around, and not all
numbers work out perfectly- I’ll let you try that!)
ie 9×13
Do the same thing for 9×3 as naomi says. Except now your leftmost pinkie is 100. Read
left to right- 1 finger (100), 1 finger (10), fold, seven fingers. Answer = 117.
9×16 therefore would be left pinkie (100), four, fold, four. 144.
Boy this was cool one. Simply splendid.After reading this my maths seem to have
improved
Hi My wife and I would like to thank you all for this web site. Hours of pleasure and all
BlueS, Sol -
For 56×17, the 2x rule seems easier here. 2×2x2×7 = 56, so do 7×17, then x2 three times.
7×17 = 119 (7×10 + 7×7)
x2 = 238
x2 = 476
x2 = 952
Regarding #2. A similar trick works for multiplications with 111, 1111, … you just need
to make the “pipeline” longer.
Example:
24253 * 111 = (2) (2+4) (2+4+2) (4+2+5) (2+5+3) (5+3) (3) = (2) (6) (8) (11) (10) (8) (3)
= 2692083
It works for 101, 1001 too, where you need to “skip” a position or two when adding.
Example:
24253 * 101 = (2) (4) (2+2) (4+5) (2+3) (5) (3) = 2449553

Somehow I missed this post! I use some of these, and in combination with other tricks.
And I share some with students.
Fun stuff!
@ naomi
its a common myth in india, that indians are much better in mathematics than, especially,
americans … only after coming to america did i realize how untrue this is!
Though Varun may be better in speed mathematis than all of us, the same can not be
extrapolated for all indians.
Neat! I like things like this, that encourage you to go beyond the basics we all learned
from the very beginning!
Simple logical things like 57 * 9 = 57 * 10 - 57 seem so obvious once you see them, but
you need to take that step!
A trick for multiples of 9 that I learned was to hold out your hands and bend down the
number you wanted to know about.
Example:
You bend down the fifth finger on your left hand, resulting in 4 fingers left before the
bend, and 5 fingers left after the bend, equals 45.
Hi Lara,
Yes, that’s a nice technique for multiplying single digits by 9. It’s a nice way for children
to use their kinesthetic senses to start learning arithmetic.
Very usefull
Thank you

Some of these tricks are also taught in Bangladesh at a very tender age….which we dont
really recall when grown up….few tricks are published in a 5 grader book…
@Kannan, Aaron, Rei, Amber: I’m glad you like these tricks.
Hi there

so my question is, does that trick work for numbers other than squares?
I am not good at maths but I am very interested in knowing how to solve mathematical
problems. Your site have been a very helpful tool to me. I will appreciate it if more
mathematics tutorial are made available, especially on how to divide numbers quickly.
thanks
Nice list, some I didn’t know. Here’s one not on your list for squaring a number -

its very common plz.insert some better trick for both junior and senir standard.
this page very useful and thank you for this information
—Airedale I think it’s a typo or something. Cause to get the middle # u add the 3rd digit
#s (in that case was 8+4). then multiply by the first digit # (which was 2) I did the
example you gave plus another one. Hope it helps.
this site is great! The post and some of the comments are very useful. I’ll be needing this
soon in training the kids in our school in math. thanks so much!
I have a good way to do 9 tables and multiplications. Think of 9 in this way. Subtract one
from the first number and place the difference between it and 9 on the end. 2×9 is 1 and 8
or 18. 3×9 is 2 and 7 or 27. 4×9 is 3 and 6 or 36. Do you see the pattern?

thank you.

Many of your have heard of people who can look at a date from the past, and instantly
call out the day of the week. I always thought this to be a very interesting skill. Let me
tell you this, it is a great skill for impressing people. But it is also very practical and
useful in daily life.
In order to do the calendar trick, you will have to have a number of very simple codes
committed to memory. The first code is the month code. This code is constant and will be
used throughout all your searches and mathematical steps.
This is the month code:
• January: 1
• February: 4
• March: 4
• April: 0
• May: 2
• June: 5
• July: 0
• August: 3
• September: 6
• October: 1
• November: 4
• December: 6
Use which ever system you wish to commit this list to memory.

This is a long list of numbers, but if you work on each one for a few days you will be able
to recall the list. It took me only a few hours to create a link story for each list. Each story
was pegged to the house list, starting from item one thru item seven.
How to use the codes:
In order to combine all the codes for a day you have to do the following: start with the
year code. You need to know if the year is a leap year. A leap year will only effect the
months of January and February. Next ask for the month, do the addition of the two.
Finally add the date and cast off the sevens. The remaining number is the day of the
week. April 13, 1997 would be 2 + 0 = 2. 13 + 5 = 15. Cast off the sevens and you are left
with the number 1. One equals Sunday.
This is the easiest code of all, the free space code.
1, 8, 15, 22 and 29. This is the first position of the week for any month.
I have seen other systems for the calendar trick that have used division to calculate the
years. That is fine; you are free to do what you want to do.
In my opinion you would be better served to memorize the list of numbers. Did you ever
wonder where the code came from? The code is based on the free spaces on the calendar.
Take a look at the calendar for the month of July. You will see that before the number 1,
there are two spaces. That is because the month of July has a code of 0, but 2008 has a
code of 2. Next month (August) has a code of 3, add the 2008 code for a total of 5.
If you practice the calendar trick you will master it in a week or two. Use the free spaces
to learn the start of each month. For the month of August, you add the code 5 to 2, you
will have 7. Now you can see that the 2nd is on Saturday. If the space the code equal 7,
the code for that month is zero. September and December are 6 so when you add the 2008
code you have 8. This will mean you have a free space of 1 on their calendars. This is
very easy math. To find out which day of the week Christmas falls on, add 1 to 25. Cast
off the sevens from 26 and you have 5. The day code of 5 equals Thursday.
Take your time, learn from your mistakes and have fun.
I really like this site very much.These tricks are really interesting.I am much comfortable
in maths.Looking forward for more tricks.Thank you.
Hey frrankly, these tricks are very useful.Thanks for posting these interesting tricks.
Xcellent Site
hello sir can u give the solution for the following question.
using 4 digit, 5 times bring all values from 0 to 50.
Math has been easy for me and often mystify people when I calculate answers in my
head. Now I’m on a quest to improve math in my head.
Your web site made things easier. Nice job.
Oh, by the way. I’m 74 years old and still sharp as a tack.
That is really interesting. My students in Ghana will enjoy that. I have more i will share
with u later
i just want to say that math is now geting more and more interesting for me,, and then i
discover this math tricks on how to solve the students’ disaster numbers…. wow!! i have
learn a lot from this aricle. i’ll browse this again and continuosly browse it once more.
more powers to those math-lovers who did this!! you’re one of a kind!!
I’d just like to say thanks for this. I already knew quite a few tricks, but this page taught
me a few more.
2435 * 3445 in your head, anyone?
encoded,
i think it was very rude of you to put that comment. sol probly worked very hard on this.
Sol,
i really liked this they helped alot,
who can tell me this one even i dont know it.who knows it write to my email the answer.
To people give you 25each exp 25+25=50 you have 50 now and you minus 45 now you
have 5 EXP 50-45=5 now you give those 2 people 1each EXP 5-2=3 now you have 3 but
you still have charge 24 each those 2 people EXP 24 + 24 = 28 plus the 3 that you have
EXP 24+24=48+3=51 now WHY 51? you had 50 why 1?
This same method can be used for writing table of 99, 999, 9999 …….
if u r writing table fo 99 thn do all the above said steps. To write table of 999 on step 2a
write 99 instead of 9.
35×35 ends in 25. We get the rest of the product by multiplying 3 by one more than 3.
So, 3×4 = 12 and that’s the rest of the product. Thus, 35×35 = 1225.
To calculate 65×65, notice that 6×7 = 42 and write down 4225 as the answer.
for e.g.-
“Say for ‘535′—-
Next no. to 53 is 54, so (53 x 54 =
2862).
If a number ends in 5 then its square always ends in 25. To get the rest of the product take
the left digit and multiply it by one more than itself.

To calculate 65×65, notice that 6×7 = 42 and write down 4225 as the answer.
You’re right on. The tricks works for 2-digit numbers because of this algebra:
(10a+5)^2 = 100a^2+100a+25
For any integer, a, 100a will end in two zeros and so will 100a^2. So, the product will
always end in 25. Also, 100a^2+100a+25 factors into 100a(a+1)+25. The a(a+1) part of
the product is the trick of multiplying the left digit by one more than itself.
You can do the algebra to convince yourself that this works for numbers with any number
of digits.
Sir,
I wanna share a trick which I learnt from my friend…..
Hope it works…
Get your friend to choose any number from the cards without telling you the number, but
to tell you all the cards it appears on. You should be able to quickly say what number was
chosen. How?
Superfast Addition
Get a friend to write down 2 numbers less than 20, one under the other without you
seeing them. then your friend makes a third number by adding the first 2 together and
write it below the first two. Then make a fourth number by adding the second and third, a
fifth by adding the third and fourth, and so on, until there is a column of ten numbers.
Now if you look at the numbers you can quickly give the total of the column. .
All you do is multiply the seventh number by 11, in the example below it is 142 x11.
You can multiply by any number by 11 very quickly in your head - How? The secret is to
multiply the number by 10 first and then add the number to the first result. For the
example above - 10 x 142 = 1420 (the really easy bit - just add 0 to the end), then add 142
to 1420 which gives us the answer 1562 (even that bit’s not too difficult either!).
Card A 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29 31
Card B 2 3 6 7 10 11 14 15 18 19 22 23 26 27 30 31
Card C 4 5 6 7 12 13 14 15 20 21 22 23 28 29 30 31
Card D 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31
Card E 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31

hello sol,
thanks for the tricks and they help me a lot but I just want to say that all of them are not
mental some are using paper.
But anyway I learnt a lot of tricks.
so coooool
I love sharing this tricks to my students. They were all amazed with the solutions. Cold
you please send me more tricks to my email address so that many students will learn
more.
I am looking for the math trick that goes something like this;
Pick a number from 1-100
then it goes something like, multiply the number by 2 then divide by a number and then
add something if the number is such and such.
If you know what I mean,please E Mail me.
I’ve been racking my brain for thirty years trying to remember how this trick went.
Mike
Math tricks are great for understanding the magic of math. But you should be able to do
math in a logical manner. I use a method of math to train my mind for logic and pattern
recognition. It is the “hidden number” system. Most people should know the times tables
by heart. So for example, if you see 2*6 you will call out 12 without much thought.
Sadly, there are still many adults who are not able to do simple mental math.
I have come up with a way to focus the mind on the simple parts and discover the hidden
parts of math. Start with pen and paper and work your way up to mental math.
Look at this. 23*45. What are the obvious numbers? From left to right, you can see 8 and
15. Because 2*4 is 8 and 3*5 is 15. What you cannot see is the hidden number 22. The
hidden number is the secret to the entire problem. It brings the left and right side numbers
together. Learn to spot the hidden number and you will be able to solve 2 by 2
multiplications with ease.
Look at the problem again. 23*45 = 8-22-15. Adding for the left only the tens digits, 8
plus 2 is 10, attach the 2 in the ones column. You have partial answer of 102. Add the 1
from 15 and attach the 5 for the final answer 1035.
You will be doing math from the left side (the more natural way) and when you have a
single digit number next to a pair. YOU ONLY PLACE IT ALONG SIDE. Practice with
the following problems.
24*36 = Left 6, Hidden n 24, right 24. Add 6 + 2 = 8 and 4, add 2 to 4, attach the last 4.
89*47 = Left 32, Hidden n 92, right 63. 32-92-63. 32+9 =41+2, 412 + 6 is 418 attach 3.
56*47 = Left 20, Hidden n 59, right 42. Do it for yourself.
74*85 = Left 56, Hidden n 67, right ?
96*21 = Left 18, Hidden n ?, right ?
Hi Sol thank you for taking the time up publish you mental maths tips I have found them
very usefull, the negative comments from some of the contrnutors are not deserved your
thoughts and the time you took to publish these tip are very much apprecated from this
reader. Cheers Aj
sir, the tricks u provide are really very helpful. Their use can save our time and can be
useful in competative exams.
also i wanna know the tricks to calculate logs and antilogs of the numbers.

I am not a magician but I am very interested in leaning how a person find the answer to
the following:
How does he did this trick? Please let me know how can he find the answer. Thanks.
I am not a magician but I am very interested in leaning how a person find the answer to
the following:
Now this person asked me to circle one of the numbers and tell him the rest of the
numbers.
He was able to tell me which number I circled.
How does he did this trick? Please let me know how can he find the answer. Thanks.
I’ll give you a hint. I bet the digits in the final answer always add up to a multiple of 9.
Also, I bet your friend is also telling you to either not circle a 9 or to not circle a 0.
Here’s another trick my wife taught me and my son. To figure out if a number is divisible
by three, simply add up the digits. If the sum is divisible by three, the original number is
also divisible by three.
For very large numbers, you do not need to keep a running total–you can simply discard
every partial sum that is divisible by 3.
For example, using 9,243,134,676 again, discard the 9 since it is divisible by 3. Then
2+4=6, toss that partial sum, since 6 is divisible by 3, then 3, ditto, then 1+3+4+6+7=21,
toss it as 21/3=7, then the last number, 6, which is also divisible by 3, so yes,
9,243,134,673 is divisible by 3.

I found a way to multiply any 2 digit number by 9 really easily. The system works for 3
digit numbers up to a point and I have found the pattern but cannot decipher how to get it
to work for the middle digit.
Anyways
23×9
First take the “2″ from the number “23″ and add a 1 to it..so 2+1 = 3. Take your answer
“3″ and subtract it from the number you are multiplying by 9. So 23-3=20. So your
answer is going to be 20x to find the “x” you simply multiply the last digit from 23 (the
3) by 9 but only keep the last value. So 3×9=27, throw away the 2 from 27 and simply
put the 7 in the x 20x = 207.
42×9?
42-5 = 37
2*9 = 18
Answer is 378
78*9
78-8 = 70
8*9 = 72
Answer is 702
Still working on the three digit scenario but there are some rules that I have to figure out
first.
You have spaces around the =, Alan doesn’t. I think that’s what he caught. Oh well, I
didn’t notice it, thanks for posting this, it makes math so much easier.
Chetanjeet, not only are you obnoxious, you even got the answer wrong. 4569(6)54303 is
the answer, not 4569(5)54303. Its not even a sum! Its a PRODUCT! Ugh.
155. By Naush on Apr 22, 2009 | Reply
well Eric the correct answer is 4569(6)5430(4) not 4569(6)5430(3). to find the ans. just
use n*10000-n.
For multiplying with 13–Follow the same rule just replace twice by thrice.
Trick No. 2
Now we have four categories in which rest of two digit numbers fall.
===>One is one more than known squares.
Like 31,41
To calculate these:-
(31)^2=(30)^2+31st odd number=900+(2*31-1)=961
(41)^2=(40)^2+41st odd number=1600+(2*41-1)=1681
===>Other is one less than known squares
(44)^2=(45)^2-45th odd number=1936
(34)^2=(35)^2-35th odd number=1156
===>Next is two more than known squares
32,42
(32)^2=(30)^2+31st odd number+32nd odd number
But why will I add two times.There has to be a simpler way otherwise it should be a
trick.Ya there is.31st odd number+32nd odd number=4*31
So,
(32)^2=(30)^2+4*31=900+124=1024
(42)^2=1600+4*41=1600+164=1764
At Last
Trick No.3
Its easy but we don’t make use of it.It is a trick about subtraction.
Ya everyone can do it but what if you do it 3 0r 4 sec faster…
1178-489
Its a best practice to take two digit at a time while adding or subtracting.
Now we see that 78
if u squaring a no. ends with 5 then , simply write 25 on right side and multiply the digits
others then 5 to one unit greater them left digits.
ex- square of 75 = 7 x 8 =5625
Take the 1 from 45696 to get 45695 and then simply tag on the 54303 to get the answer
4569554304
Here are some simpler versions of the same approach (Vedic Maths)
Using Base 10
8*9
Find the differences of both 8 and 9 from 10
2 and 1
Now cross calculate so you take the 2 from 9 and 1 from the 8 to get a 7
Multiply the 2 * 1 to get 2
put the 7 before the 2 to get 72
995 * 990
Difference from a 1000
5 and 10
Cross calculate the common number as
985 (ie 995 - 10 or 990 - the 5)
985 is the first part of the answer the second is 5* 10 = 050 (note you need a 3 digit
answer to tag it. If the answer is 4 digits it is added)
ie. 985050
You can do this trick using any base but if you use say base 20 you have to multiply by 2
base 30 by 3 etc. Also if you use numbers above the base you have to add rather than
subtract from the base to get the first part of the solution.
Here is an example in Base 20
18 * 17
Cross calulate using -2 and -3 (from base 20) to get
15
Double this as you are using Base 20 to get 30
for the rest of the solution work out
2*3=6
Answer 306
Using this technique you can calulate seemingly very complex products in your head.
this is very amazing this is fantastic thank u i was able to do my assingments because of
ur idea
When a 2-digit number formed by two numbers that summed to 10(28,37,46 etc.)is
multiplied by 99, the results are always pallindromes.
e.g. 28×99=2772, 37×99=3663, 64×99=6336
Thank you,Jason,for sharing your trick of solving 45696*99999. I would like to share my
way of calculating 100000-45696. My trick is to do 9’s complement on all digits except
the last. Do 10’s complement for the last digit. Do it from left to right, so your brain
doesn’t have to reverse the number you’ve got from the subtraction. So,10000-
45696=5(4+5=9)4(5+4=9)3(6+3=9)0(9+0=9)4(6+4=10).
Many readers of this site have learned the trick of squaring a two-digit number that ends
with 5. The magic behind this trick and many other tricks is the manipulation of binomial
multiplication,(a+b)(c+d). A two-digit number that ends wiwth 5 is expressed as 10n+5.
The square is (10n+5)^2=100n^2+100n+25=(n(n+1))(100)+25. If
n=5,(5(5+1))(100)+25=5(6)(100)+25=3000+25=3025. That’s why we multiply the tenth-
digit by the next number and tag on 25.
Binomial manipulation can be used for deriving other tricks such as the multiplcation of
two two-digit number with the same tenth-digit, and the unit-digits that summed to
10,such as 26×24, and the multiplication of two two-digit numbers with the tenth-digits
that summed to 10 and the unit digits are the same, such as 62×42.
Still searching for the answer to what may be perhaps a simple trick. It goes something
like this:
Pick a number from 1 to 100.
Don’t tell the number.
Then (this is the part I don’t know but goes something like) add a number
divide by a number
multiply by your number
the answer comes out to your original number
Please HELP
The multiplication of two two-digit numbers with the same tenth-digit and the unit-digits
that summed to 10 can be represented by the expression
(10m+a)(10m+b)=100m^2+10ma+10mb+ab=100m^2+10(a+b)+ab=100m^2+10(10)m+a
b=100m^2+100m+ab=m(m+1)(100)+ab
e.g. 24×26=2(2+1)(100)+ 4(6)=600+24=624
Therefore, the trick is multiply the tenth-digit by the next number, and tag on the product
of the two digit. Is this trick similar to the square of a two-digit number that ends with 5?
It is actually the same trick. 5+5=10,right?
The multiplication of two two-digit numbers such that the unit-digits are the same and the
tenth-digit summed to 10 can be expressed as
(10a+m)(10b+m)=(ab)(100)+10am+10bm+m^2=(ab)(100)+(a+b)(m)(100)+m^2=(ab)(10
0)+(10)(10)(m)+m^2=(ab)(100)+(m)(100)+m^2=(ab+m)(100)+m^2
e.g. 47×67=(4×6+7)(100)+7^2=3100+49=3149
Therefore,the trick is: multiply the tenth digits, add the unit digit and then tag on the
square of the unit digits.
If this trick reminds you of the trick for squaring 51 through 59, it is because they are the
same trick. Again, it’s because 5+5=10.
amazing! thanks very very much! i need mental math for this entrance test i’m about to
take very soon that bans the use of calculators! this is very helpful indeed:))) god bless
you and your awesome brain:))
I have a way of mutltplying a two-digit number by 99. This is not necessary better but
slightly different from what has been posted earlier by other readers.
Suppose you want to mutiply 49 by 99:
In your mind’s eyes you see 48_ _.(49-1)
Fill in the first blank the 9’s complement of the tenth digit, and you see 485_.(4+5=9)
Then fill in the remaining blank the 9’s complement of the unit digit, and the answer is
4851.
excellent trick…

I have read Naomi’s comment dated December 5,2007. I couldn’t agree with her more
that some readers from Asia have been giving destructive criticism.
I am from Hong Kong. Math tricks had not been taught during my elementary and high
school years. As a matter of fact, I had never passed a math test in Hong Kong. I learned
most of my math tricks in the United States, and I came up with a few tricks on my own
with the basic math I learned in high school. I have learn a lot from this site, and I will
share all I know. I get disturbed reading negative comments ,especially from people who
used to be my neighbors. Please, please ,if you know some good tricks, share with us. Let
us all benefit from each other’s knowledge.
hey guys i m going to share a amazing trick i learnt,to multiply any no by 99999…….
what is 954862211561
*999999999999
—————-
954862211560045137788439
its damm simple!!
copy the no as it is except the last digit,subtract the last digit by 1 i.e (n-1) and then again
start to subtract each digit from 9 except the last digit that needs to be subtracted by
10..and yes that’s the answer!!!
865
*999
——-
86(n-1)4/13(10-5)
864135
if the no of digits is less than the no of 9’s ie 568*9999 dont worry simply add a zero in
the front and carry the process i.e 0568*9999
add 1 to the extra digit i.e (5+1) and sub the result from the remaining part of the no n
then is the third part of sub from 9 excet hte last digit from 10
5/487
* 999
————————- 5 487 99(10)
- 6 -48 7
——————-
5 481 513
My last trick was sent inadvertently before completion. Let me continue the mental
process of 17X14 with a different approach:
1. 1_ _ (always think of 1)
2. 21_ (add the unit digits(7+4=11). Write down(mentally) the unit digit of the sum(1) as
the second digit. Add the tenth digit of the sum (1)to the first digit (1).(1+1=2,hence 21_)
3. 238 (Multiply the unit digits(4×7=28). Write down (mentally) the unit digit of the
product (8)as the third digit. Add the tenth digit of the product(2) to the middle
digit(1).(2+1=3,hence 238.)
yar it is so good but it must have some tricks like multiplying 2 digit numbers quicklly in
head
very fantastic. students may mostly benefited, if such superb sites are available. try to add
some more tricks. valarka um thondu!
93×97=
93-7.
97-3.
multiply7×3=21 the last two numbersin answer.
cross subtract to get 90 the first two numbers.
ans=9021.you can do this in your head.
99×11=1089.
from the left put down the 9.
next add 9+9 18.
finallyputdown the last9 9.
——-
1089
thank you!
Basicly, you need to understand the exact rule to correct the mistake
the
You can prove to your friend that 10+10=10, and 10-10=20 by performing this trick:
1. Show all ten digits of your hands.
2. Show all ten digits of a pair of gloves.
3. Put on the gloves and show your hands.(10+10=10)
4. Remove the gloves and show both hands and gloves. (10-10=20)
NICE TRICK!!!
I love school.I love math and i has hoping to find ways to solve mentally more than the
ones i found at home. 5 days! i am only 9 years and got 99 in math and 94 in average.The
tricks stink.
These techniques are great. I did so poorly on last year’s mental math at ARML. I hope
this’ll help me for this year. =)
This is very impressive when done on a blackboard because you write down your answer
from left to right. (Especially if you do the division in your head. It’s not hard–it just
takes practice.)
ja, your right about not being critical to others… im asian and IM not saying any thing so
lay off
nice article
thank u so much for these tricks….hey i really want to know how to multiply big
numbers(RANDOM) like 57 * 89..so if anyone could help me…. actually i know one of
the tricks…but i want to know a more easy one…… i wil post the trick in my next
comment…..so i will be grateful if anyone helps me..and thank u for the above
techniques…
