Trick 1:Multiply any two numbers from 11 to 20 in your head.Take 15 13 for example Place the larger no. first in your mind and then do something like this.Take the larger no. on the top and the second digit of the smaller no. in the bottom.153The rest is quite simple. Add 15+3 = 18 . Then multiply 18 10 = 180 Now multiply the second digit of both the numbers (i.e; 5 3 = 15) Now add 180 + 15.Here is the answer 180 + 15 = 195 .Think over it. This is a simple trick. It will help you a lot.VEDIC TRICKSTrick 2:Multiply any two digit number with 11.This trick is much simpler than the previous one and it is more useful too. Let the number be 27 . Therefore 27 11Divide the number as 2 _ 7Add 2+ 7 = 9Thus the answer is 2 9 7Wasn't this one simple. But there is one complication. If you take a number like 57 Thus _57 x 11Divide the number as 5 _ 7Add 5 + 7 = 12Now add 1 to 5 and place 2 in the middle so the answer is 5+1_2 _7 = _627Thus the answer is 627.Trick3:Square any two digit number.

Suppose the number is 47 . Look for the nearest multiple of 10 . i.e; in this case 50. We will reach 50 if we add 3 to 47. So multiply (47+3) x (47-3) = 50 44 = 2200 This is the 1st interim answer.

We had added 3 to reach the nearest multiple of 10 that is 50 thus 3x 3 = 9 This is the second interim answer.

The final answer is 2200 + 9 = 2209

TRICK 4: Multiplying by 12 - shortcut

So how does the 12's shortcut work?Let's take a look.12 X 7The first thing is to always multiply the 1 of the twelve by thenumber we are multiplying by, in this case 7. So 1 X 7 = 7.Multiply this 7 by 10 giving 70. (Why? We are working with BASES here.Bases are the fundamentals to easy calculations for all multiplication tables.

Now multiply the 7 by the 2 of twelve giving 14. Add this to 70 giving 84.Therefore 7 X 12 = 84Let's try another:17 X 12Remember, multiply the 17 by the 1 in 12 and multiply by 10(Just add a zero to the end)1 X 17 = 17, multiplied by 10 giving 170.Multiply 17 by 2 giving 34.Add 34 to 170 giving 204.So 17 X 12 = 204lets go one more24 X 12Multiply 24 X 1 = 24. Multiply by 10 giving 240.Multiply 24 by 2 = 48. Add to 240 giving us 28824 X 12 = 288 (these are Seriously Simple Sums to do aren't they?!)

TRICK 5: Converting Kilometres to Miles

This is a useful method for when travelling between imperialand metric countries and need to know what kilometres to miles are.The formula to convert kilometres to miles is number of (kilometres / 8 ) X 5So lets try 80 kilometres into miles80/8 = 10multiplied by 5 is 50 miles!Another example40 kilometres40 / 8 = 55 X 5= 25 milesTRICK 6: Converting Kilos to pounds

In this section you will learn how to convert Kilos to Pounds, and Vice Versa.Let's start off with looking at converting Kilos to pounds.86 kilos into pounds:Step one, multiply the kilos by TWO.To do this, just double the kilos.86 x 2 = 172Step two, divide the answer by ten.To do this, just put a decimal point one place in from the right.172 / 10 = 17.2Step three, add step two's answer to step one's answer.172 + 17.2 = 189.286 Kilos = 189.2 poundsLet's try:50 Kilos to pounds:Step one, multiply the kilos by TWO.To do this, just double the kilos.50 x 2 = 100Step two, divide the answer by ten.To do this, just put a decimal point one place in from the right.100/10 = 10Step three, add step two's answer to step one's answer.100 + 10 = 11050 Kilos = 110 pounds
