‘’HOW TO MULTIPLY A NUMBER WITH BASE OF 100”

OBJECTIVES:

After the discussion, the student should be able to;

*Understand and know on how to multiply a number using base of 100 in a faster way.

DISCUSSION:

Before we start, Let us, understand the following two terms carefully, these will
help you to find multiplication in faster and easy way.
Deviation: The difference between the number and the base is termed as deviation.
Deviation may be positive or negative. Positive deviation is written without
the positive sign and the negative deviation, is written using a bar or negative sign on
the number.
Base: Using this multiplication techniques, we relate each number very close to another
number called base.

‘’STEPS ON HOW TO MULTIPY A NUMBER WITH BASE OF 100’’

Example1. Multiply 78 by 96
Step 1. Well, here base is hundred, Put the two numbers 78 and 96 above and below on
the left-hand side.
Step 2. For the right-hand-side, find out Deviation of both numbers. That is, 78-100 = -22
and 96-100 = –04 , Write Numbers as shown below:

Step 3. Now, for the right-hand-side of answer multiply the deviations 22 and 04, you
will get 88, that is right hand side of the answer.

Step 4. As I already explained that there are four ways of find out the left-hand-side of
the answer. Here, I used 78-04=74. You can use any of the four ways to find out left-
portion of the answer.
EXAMPLES:

Here are some points to remember:

*In all these cases, note that both the cross-subtractions always give the same remainder
(for the left-hand-side portion of the-answer)
*Here too, note that the vertical multiplication (for the right-hand side portion of
the product) may, in some cases, yield a more-than-two-digit product ; but, with 100 as
our base, we can have only two digits on the right-hand side. We should therefore
adopt the same method as before (i.e. keep the permissible two digits on the right-hand
side and "carry" the surplus or extra digit over to the left) (as in the case of ordinary
addition, compound addition etc.).

EVALUATION:
Find the product of the number with base of 100 in 15 seconds.
1.93x98 = ? 4.25x78 = ?
2.27 x 99 = ? 5.56 x98 = ?
3.81x91 = ?
