WHERE LOGIC MEETS CREATIVITY

 WHAT IS MENTAL MATH?

Mental Maths is a group of skills which

allows you to do Maths in your head
without the use of pen and paper.
It is one of the best known ways to
strengthen your brain’s muscles and
improve your IQ.

1) MULTIPLICATION WITH 11

• Let us try to multiply 23 with 11

• 23 X 11
• Write 2 on the hundredth’s place
• Write 3 on the one’s place
• For the tenth’s place, simply add the ones and the hundredth’s place i.e. 2+3=5
• Therefore, the answer is 253.
• H TO
253
• If any of the digit exceeds 9, carry over the ten’s digit to the next place.
One more:
• Let us try to multiply 175 with 11
• 175 X 11
• Write 5 at the unit’s place.
• Ten’s place: 5+7=12
So, we’ll have 2 at tens digit and 1 will be carried over.
• Hundred’s place: 7+1+1=9
• Thousands place: 1
• Therefore, the answer is 1925.

Now, try these out:

• 34 X 11
• 62 X 11
• 19 X 11
• 101 X 11
2)MULTIPLICATION OF ANY TWO DIGIT
NUMBERS FROM 11 TO 19…
 STEP 1:ADD THE UNIT DIGIT OF THE SMALLER NUMBER TO THE LARGER NUMBER.
 STEP 2:MULTIPLY THE RESULT BY 10
 STEP 3:MULTIPLY THE UNIT DIGIT OF BOTH THE NUMBERS
 STEP 4:ADD THIS NUMBER TO THE RESULT OBTAINED IN STEP 2.
 EXAMPLE: 13 X 16
 1) 16 + 3 = 19
 19 X 10 = 190
 3 X 6 = 18
 190 + 18 = 208
 SO, THE ANSWER IS 208.
ONE MORE:
 17 X 19
 STEP 1) 19 + 7 = 26
 26 X 10 = 260
 7 X 9 = 63
 260 + 63 =323

NOW, TRY THESE OUT:

• 12 X 17
• 16 X 14
• 13 X 19
• 19 X 17
– STEP 1:DIVIDE THE NUMBER BY 2.
– STEP 2: ADD THE RESULT WITH THE NUMBER TO BE MULTIPLIED WITH 15.
– STEP 3: MULTIPLY THE ANSWER WITH 10.
– FOR EXAMPLE: 12 X 15
– 12 / 2 = 6
– 12 + 6 =18
– 18 X 10 = 180
ONE MORE:
– 57 X 15
– 57 / 2 = 28.5
– 57 + 28.5 = 75.5
– 75.5 X 10 = 755

NOW, TRY THESE OUT:

• 18 X 15
• 66 X 15
• 23 X 15
FIRST OF ALL, SQUARE BOTH THE TEN’S AND THE UNIT’S PLACE INDIVIDUALLY AND COMBINE THEM:
THEN, UNIT’S DIGIT X TEN’S DIGIT X 2 X10
ADD THEM UP AS SHOWN BELOW:
FOR EXAMPLE : 53
1) 5 X 5 = 25
3 X 3 = 09
2) 5 X 3 X 2 X 10 =300
5 3
2 5 0 9
+ 3 0 0…
22 8 0 9
TTHEREFORE, ANSWER IS 2809
 ONE MORE: 34
1) 3 X 3 = 09
4 X 4 = 16
3 X 4 X 2 X 10 =240
3 4
0 9 1 6
+ 2 4 0
1 1 5 6

NOW, TRY THESE OUT:

• 27
• 43
• 81
5) SQUARING A TWO DIGIT ENDING WITH 5

• STEP 1: PICK THE NUMBER AND THE TEN’S PLACE AND MULTIPLY IT
WITH THE NEXT NATURALLY OCCURING NUMBER.
• STEP 2: JOIN IT WITH 25.
• EG. 75 X 75
• 7 X 8 = 56
• ANSWER = 5625
• ONE MORE:

• 35 X 35
• 3 X 4 = 12
• 1225 IS YOUR ANSWER

NOW, TRY THESE OUT:

• 65
• 85
• 55
• Pick the digit at the hundredth’s place and square it.
• Then, multiply: digit at hundred’s place X multiply digit at one’s place x 2
• Square the digit at the one’s place.
• Combine them and get the answer.
• For eg. 409
• 1) 4 X 4 = 16
• 2) 2 X 4 X 9 =72
• 9 X 9 =81
• THE ANSWER IS 167281.
• 506
• 256036
• 305
• 93025
7) MULTIPLYING A NUMBER WITH 5
 STEP 1: TAKE THE NUMBER TO BE MULTIPLIED AND DIVIDE IT WITH 2.
 STEP 2: MULTIPLY THE ANSWER BY 10.
 FOR EXAMPLE, 48 X 5
 STEP 1: 48/2 = 24
 STEP 2: 24 X 10 = 240
 ONE MORE: 63 X 5
 1) 63/2 = 31.5
 31.5 X 10 = 315

NOW, TRY THESE OUT:

• 56 X 5
• 82 X 5
• 47 X 5
8) DIVIDING BY 5

■ STEP 1: TAKE THE NUMBER AND NOW, TRY THESE OUT:

MULTIPLY IT WITH 2.
■ 84 / 5
■ STEP 2: DIVIDE IT WITH 10.
■ 26 / 5
■ FOR EXAMPLE: 74/5
■ 47 / 5
■ 1) 74 X 5 = 158
■ 62 / 5
■ 2) 158 / 10 = 15.8
■ ONE MORE: 39 / 5
■ 1) 39 X 2 = 78
■ 78 / 10 = 7.8
 EASY WAY TO REMEMBER THIS:

WHEN IT IS AKED TO MULTIPLY BY 5:

FIRST DVIDE BY 2 AND THEN MULTIPLY
AND WHEN IT IS ASKED TO DIVIDE BY 5:
THEN, FIRST MULTILPLY BY 2 AND THEN DIVIDE
