Concept 1: Vedic Mathematics
Use the formula ALL FROM 9 AND THE LAST FROM 10 to perform instant
subtractions.
• For example 1000 - 357 = 643
We simply take each figure in 357 from 9 and the last figure from 10.
So the answer is 1000 - 357 = 643
And thats all there is to it!
This always works for subtractions from numbers consisting of a 1 followed by noughts:
100; 1000; 10,000 etc.
• Similarly 10,000 - 1049 = 8951
• For 1000 - 83, in which we have more zeros than figures in the numbers being
subtracted, we simply suppose 83 is 083.
Concept 2: Vedic Mathematics
Using VERTICALLY AND CROSSWISE you do not need to the multiplication tables
beyond 5 X 5.
• Suppose you need 8 x 7
8 is 2 below 10 and 7 is 3 below 10.
Think of it like this:
The answer is 56.
The diagram below shows how you get it.
You subtract crosswise 8-3 or 7 - 2 to get 5,
the first figure of the answer.
And you multiply vertically: 2 x 3 to get 6,
the last figure of the answer.
That's all you do:
See how far the numbers are below 10, subtract one
number's deficiency from the other number, and
multiply the deficiencies together.
• 7 x 6 = 42
Here there is a carry: the 1 in the 12 goes over to make 3 into 4.
Concept 3: Vedic Mathematics
Method for multiplying numbers where the first figures are the same and the last figures
add up to 10.
• 32 x 38 = 1216
Both numbers here start with 3 and the last figures (2 and 8) add up to 10.
So we just multiply 3 by 4 (the next number up) to get 12 for the first part of the answer.
And we multiply the last figures: 2 x 8 = 16 to
get the last part of the answer.
• And 81 x 89 = 7209
We put 09 since we need two figures as in all the other examples.
Concept 4: Vedic Mathematics
Multiplying a number by 11.
To multiply any 2-figure number by 11 we just put
the total of the two figures between the 2 figures.
• 27 x 11 = 297
Notice that the outer figures in 297 are the 27
being multiplied.
And the middle figure is just 2 and 7 added up.
• So 72 x 11 = 792
Similarly
• 234 x 11 = 2574
We put the 2 and the 4 at the ends.
We add the first pair 2 + 3 = 5.
and we add the last pair: 3 + 4 = 7.
CONVERSION OF VULGAR FRACTIONS INTO DECIMAL ONES
NOTE: THIS METHOD IS USED WHEN THE LAST DIGIT OF THE
DENOMINATOR IS 9
SUTRA: Ekadhikena Purvena
ONE-PHRASE EXPLANATION:" By One More than the Previous One"
Pre-requisite knowledge
Here, let us define an entity called as 'Ekadhika Purva'. Lets call it EP.
EP is derived from the above phrase " By One More than the Previous One"
Eg) Any number, say, 29
Last Digit:9
Previous Digit:2
One More than the Previous Digit:2+1=3
So, EP=3,
Application
NOTE: EP is applied to the Denominator here.
NOTE: Unlike, the conventional processes of division and multiplication, vedic maths
gives one-line answers. Let us stop being mechanical machines and give ourselves some
respect by using our mental faculties.
Method 1 : Division
Here, we write the one-line answer from the left to the right.
a) For 2 digit Denominators
Eg)1/29
Step 1
Divide the 1st digit of the dividend(i.e. the Numerator) by EP. Get the Quotient and
Remainder.
Here,
Dividend=Numerator=1
1st digit of Dividend=1
EP=2+1=3 (as explained above, EP is used for Denominators in this method)
So, 1st digit of Dividend divided by EP :1/3 : gives
Quotient,Q1=0
Remainder,R1=1
Take your time, check it out! Relax!
Step 2
1 is smaller than 29.
So the answer will be logically less than 1.
i.e. the answer will be of the form [Link]...
Now,
Write the Quotient,Q1 obtained after the decimal point. i.e. 0.0
Step 3
Now, read [R1:Q1] as one number. i.e. 10 (ten)
Let this be the new dividend.
Divide this new dividend by EP again to get New_Quotient(Q2) and
New_Remainder(R2)
i.e. 10/EP = 10/3 which gives Q2=3 and R2=1
Step 4
Now,
Write Q2 after Q1 in the answer. i.e. 0.03
Like before read [R2:Q2] as one number. i.e. 13 (thirteen)
Step 5
Divide this new dividend, 13 by EP again to get a new Quotient, Q3 and a new
Remainder, R3.
i.e. 10/EP = 13/3 gives Q3=4 and R3=1
Continue the same process till the number of decimal places you want!
Answer = 0.0344827586206..
