AId To Memory

The document provides methods for efficiently performing division, multiplication, squaring numbers, and calculating percentages. It recommends strategies like breaking down operations into multiple steps using common factors like 2, 5, 10 to make calculations easier. For squaring two-digit numbers, it describes a method of adding the last digit to the number and squaring the last digit, then appending the result based on the number of digits. It also includes tables of squares up to 12 and common percentages.

Division by 5

similarly, it's often more convenient instead to multiply first by 2 and then divide by 10.
For example,
1375/5 = 2750/10 = 275.
Multiplication by 5
It's often more convenient instead of multiplying by 5 to multiply first by 10 and then
divide by 2.
For example,
1375 = 1370/2 = 685
Division/multiplication by 4
Replace either with a repeated operation by 2.
For example,
124/4 = 62/2 = 31. Also,
1244 = 2482 = 496.
Division/multiplication by 25
Use operations with 4 instead.
For example,
3725 = 3700/4 = 1850/2 = 925.
Division/multiplication by 8
Replace either with a repeated operation by 2.
For example,
1248 = 2484 = 4962 = 992.
Division/multiplication by 125
Use operations with 8 instead.
For example,
37125 = 37000/8 = 18500/4 = 9250/2 = 4625.{1000/8}
Squaring two digit numbers.
i.

You should memorize the first 25 squares:

If you forgot an entry.


Say, you want a square of 13. Do this: add 3 (the last digit) to 13 (the number to be

squared) to get 16 = 13 + 3. Square the last digit: 3 = 9. Append the result to the sum:
169.
As another example, find 14. First, as before, add the last digit (4) to the number itself
(14) to get 18 = 14 + 4. Next, again as before, square the last digit: 4 = 16. You'd like to
append the result (16) to the sum (18) getting 1816 which is clearly too large, for, say, 14
< 20 so that 14 < 20 = 400. What you have to do is append 6 and carry 1 to the previous
digit (8) making 14 = 196.

11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 21 22 23 24 25
121 144 169 196 225 256 289 324 361 441 484 529 576 625
112=121
1112=12321
11112=1234321
Hence here the number of 1, that much in ascending order and then descending order till
1.
BASE METHOD TO FIND SQUARE OF ANY NUMBER:
Formula: a 102 +- b
Where a is base of the number
For eg:
262= 26-4/42 = 22/16; now here comes the rule as its taken on base 30 so 22 is * with 3
hence: 66/16 as we know from no of digits 26 should have 3 digits so 66+1/6=676 ans
382=38-2/2*2=36/04=4(taken from 40)*36/04=144/04=as 38 shud hve 5 digits from no of
digits so 1444.
972=97-3/09 as its 100 base so a= 1, and 97 have 4 digits so 9409
3162= (316+16)3/256=996/256=99856{acc to number of digits}
3172= (317+17)3/289=1002/289=100489 {acc to number of digits}

31^2 to 32^2= 3 to 4
99^2 to 100^2= 4 to 5

999^2 to 1000^2= 6 to 7

Product of Number abc+abd where c+d=10 and ab are same:


113 * 117= 3+7 is 10 its spl case hence 11*12=132
And 3 *7 is 21 so answer is 13221
28*24= 30*24=720, now we have taken 24 two times extra so subs 48 from 720 hence
672.
i) 98 (2)

ii) 91 * 93 = 8463
iii) 62* 68= 60/8*2=7(60)/16 as its from 70base hence 420/16 as we now it wil have 4
digits hence 4216
iv) 79*83= here we will take 90 base as base 80 will be lil weird,
v) 53*67=70*5/51=3551
vi) 63* 61= (54)7/63=378/63=3843
Multiplying

by 11.
To multiply a 2-digit number by 11, take the sum of its digits. If it's a single digit number,
just write it between the two digits. If the sum is 10 or more, do not forget to carry 1 over.
For example, 3411 = 374 since 3 + 4 = 7. 4711 = 517 since 4 + 7 = 11.
Faster subtraction.
Subtraction is often faster in two steps instead of one.

For example,
427 - 38 = (427 - 27) - (38 - 27) = 400 - 11 = 389.
A generic advice might be given as "First remove what's easy, next whatever remains".
Another example:
1049 - 187 = 1000 - (187 - 49) = 900 - 38 = 862.
