Multiplication Problem 1
01.25.2013 · Posted in Multiplication Problem's

This type of problems can be solved by back-tracking technique after finding one letter
(number).

Approach (Method):
The best method which I follow is from bottom to top multiplication (You can do in vice-verse),
but I found it was easy.

If you see the question, start from bottom to top like D*(ABC) and E*(ABC)

It is given that E * C = C this happens only with numbers of 5 & 6 let’s see how?

Explanation:
1*5=5

3 * 5 = _5 (Actually 15 but concentrate on last digit)

7 * 5 = _5 (35) I am not using 5 * 5 because it’s already assigned to C we should not repeat.

9 * 5 = _5 (45) so, from this don’t conclude C = 5 & E= (1, 3, 7, 9).

Because there is another number with these properties Ex: – number (6)
6 * 2 = _2 (12)

6 * 4 = _4 (24)

6 * 8 = _8 (48)

From this don’t conclude E = 6 & C = (2, 4, 8).

Let, note all the possible cases and try. For Example take C = 5 and E = odd number (1, 3, 7, 9)

A B C Now Replace C with 5 and redraw the following table.

D E And also place E as odd number (3, 7, 9) I didn’t write 1 here because it’s
F E C not going to be 1 Let’s take first E = 3 and fill the table.
If you see the colored portion then sum 3 + 5 = B (8) lets assign 8 to B
D E C
H G B C And redraw the table, if u put B = 8, let’s check from first
3 * 5 = 5 (carry 1)
A B 5 3 * 8 = 24 + 1 = 5 (carry 2) but in the table it is showing 3 it is
D 3 contradictory, then we can understand that E! = 3.
So Next I will take E = 7 and again fill the table.
F 3 5 If you see the red color portion
D 3 5
Sum of 7 + 5 = 2 (carry 1) so we got B = 2.
H G B 5 Assign B = 2 and fill the table.
Now see the row which I highlighted and think what value we can keep for
D after clear Observation we can get D = 3 satisfy the given condition and
A B 5
put D = 3.
D 7 To get 375 in second row the value of A is
F 7 5
A = 1 so put value of A in table
D 7 5 If you keep A = 1it’s very simple
F = 8, G = 6, H = 4.
H G B 5

A 2 5
D 7
F 7 5
D 7 5
H G 2 5
Hope everyone can understand the solution…… Thanks for spending your

Multiplication Problem 2
01.25.2013 · Posted in Multiplication Problem's

W H Y
N U T
O O N P
O Y P Y
O U H A
O N E P O P
When you see second multiple (W H Y ) * U = (O Y P Y)

So, The number for U = 6 and Y is (2 , 4) Lets take the value of Y is 4 and replace it in figure.

W H 4
N 6 T
O O N P
O 4 P 4
O 6 H A
O N E P O P
Yes, this is some typical question we need more tries to reach solution.
Clearly if you see the yellow portion O + 6 = N and there is no carry to the next digit so we can
confirm that ‘N’ is single digit number. If ‘N’ is single digit number ‘O’ should be less than (O <
3)

Let’s take O = 1 and redraw the table…

W H 4
N 6 T
1 1 N P
1 4 P 4
1 6 H A
1 N E P 1 P
If you observe the orange shaded region 1 + 6 = N & N + 4 = 1 so, we can clearly the value of N
=7

So replace N = 7 and redraw the table.

W H 4
7 6 T
1 1 7 P
1 4 P 4
1 6 H A
1 7 E P 1 P
Take the third multiple (W H 4) * 7 = 1 6 H A à from this we get A = 8, and if you replace the H
with 3 and w = 2 then the equation satisfies.

Like (2 3 4) * 7 = 1 6 3 8 so redraw the table with particular values.

2 3 4
7 6 T
1 1 7 P
1 4 P 4
1 6 3 8
1 7 E P 1 P
The remaining numbers are (0,5,9) It is simple to analyse we can’t get 5 in place of p because
when you multiply with 4 we cannot get the last digit as 5.

So T = 5, P = 0, E = 9
After redraw the table.

2 3 4
7 6 5
1 1 7 0
1 4 0 4
1 6 3 8
1 7 9 0 1 0
This type of problems are bit tough But I am sure by practising you will be done easily without
fail…

Hope you enjoyed this type of problems if any doubts please comment the doubt. We will clarify
our level best as soon as possible:-)

This type of problems can be solved by back-tracking technique after finding one letter (number).

Explanation:

B O B

B O B

M E O Y

M I L O

M E O Y

M A R L E Y

Here we cannot apply the logic B * B = B (5 * 5 = _5) or (6 * 6 = _6)

So alternative b = (2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9)
From the second line B O B * O = M I L O
O * B = O
So, O = 5 and B is an Odd number i.e B = (3,7,9) Replace O = 5 and B = 3 and redraw the table
3 5 3
 3 5 3

1 0 5 9

1 7 6 5

1 0 5 9

1 2 4 6 0 9

B = 3
O = 5
Y = 9
E = 0
M = 1
L = 6
R = 4
A = 2
I=7

 A B C

D E C

F G H

I A C

A C A E

A F A G C H

Solution:
First if you see ( D E C ) * C from this we can confirm that two possibilities:
1) E = ( 3, 7, 9 ) and C = 5
2) E = 6 and C = ( 2, 4, 8 )
So now you are in little bit confusion which possibility I should proceed.

If you are not choosing the correct possibility time will be killed off course time is very very precious in
eLitmus exam.

So, better step forward to estimate the correct possibility–)

If you see last multiple ( D E C ) * C = E if you assume C = 5 and E = (3, 7, 9 ) the only possible values
of D = (2, 4, 8) if you keep any value for D then the value E = 0 that is contradiction.
So it is very clear that first possibilities is wrong then go with the second possibility means

E = 6 and C = (2, 4, 8) Let’s take C = 2 Then the table changes as:

A B 2

D 6 2
 3 0 4

I A 2

A 2 A 6

A 3 A 0 2 4

Clearly from the table H = 4 and G = 0 (because G + 2 = 2 means G = 0), and F = 3 (C + carry= F).
After filling this values let’s take (A B 2) * 2 = 3 0 4. It happens only when B = 5 and A = 1
Replace the values and redraw the table.

1 5 2

D 6 2

3 0 4

I 1 2

1 2 1 6

1 3 1 0 2 4

From the table (1 5 2) * D = 1 2 1 6 It will happen only when D = 8 and from the line (I + 1 + carry =
1) so from that we can say I = 9.
Replace all the values,

1 5 2

8 6 2

3 0 4

9 1 2

1 2 1 6

1 3 1 0 2 4

This type of problems can be solved by back-tracking technique after finding one letter (number).

Approach (Method):
The best method which I follow is from bottom to top multiplication (You can do in vice-verse), but I
found it was easy.

Explanation:

M A D

B E

M A D

R A E

A M I D

(M A D) * (E) = (M A D) we can clearly get that E = 1

from the second multiple D * B = E => 1 so only options is 7 * 3 = _1
 3 * 7 = _1
Let’s take B = 3 and D = 7 and E = 1 redraw the table.
M A 7

3 1

M A 7

R A 1

A M I 7

M + A = M then we can understand that the value of A will be 9 because (9 + carry) = 10

Now, A = 9.
M A 7

3 1

M A 7

R A 1

A M I 7

See the last column R + (carry) = A [ carry may be equal to 1 because two less than 9 numbers leads to
carry (one) ]
So R = 8. M 9 7
* 3 1
8 91 To get R = 8, M should be equal to 2(M = 2)
2 9 7

3 1

2 9 7

8 9 1

9 2 I 7

Finally:M = 2
A=9
D=7
 B=3
E=1
I = 0
R=8

Multiplication Problem -6

Approach (Method):

S E E

S O

E M O O

M E S S

M I M E O
Clearly if we see the first multiple (S E E) * O = E M O O

From that we can get easily E = 1.

So, replace E with (1) and redraw the table.

S 1 1

S O

1 M O O

M 1 S S

M I M 1 O

If we see the shaded region in above table M + S = M the value of M = 9

(I explained in previous example).

So replace S = 9 and redraw the table.

9 1 1

9 O

1 M O O

M 1 9 9
 M I M 1 O

By the second multiple (9 1 1) * 9 = (M 1 9 9) = (8 1 9 9)

So M = 8 and also see the shaded region O + 9 = _1 so the value of must be equal to 2 (O = 2). Replace
the values of M and O and redraw the table.

9 1 1

9 2

1 8 2 2

8 1 9 9

8 3 8 1 2

After replacing M and O value the value of I = 3….

Approach (Method):
A I D

A D

R I A D

D D C D

D I C E D

Clearly if you see D * D = D the numbers which satisfy the condition is 5 & 6 only,

Let’s see how 5 * 5 = _5 (25) and 6 * 6 = _6 (36).

So take D = 5 and re-arrange the table.

Explanation:
A I 5

A 5

R I A 5

5 5 C 5

5 I C E 5

So see the shaded region: I + C = C so the value of I may be 9 (or) 0

Why 9? Because carry will come from A + 5 = _E

I + carry = 10 so we are taking I = 9.

If we take I = 9 then the value of A will be:

(A 9 5) * 5 = R 9 7 5

So A = 7 keep the value of I and A and redraw the table.

7 9 5

7 5

R 9 7 5

5 5 C 5

5 9 C E 5

So no need of finding the values by procedure just by multiplying 7 9 5 * 7 5

Then we will get all values…..

This type of problems can’t be solved by tracking technique.

APPROACH:
This is the toughest problem which I ever faced because there is no repeated words in the
multiplication table.
And the procedure we should follow is from each and every number we should check, There is no
particular method to solve this
H = 1
E = 8
I = 3
S = 9
U = 6
B = 2
O = 5

Approach (Method):
C U T

I T
B U S T
T N N T

T E N E T
If you see the last multiple T * T = T this operation will be done only with the numbers of 5 & 6.

Let’s take T = 5 and redraw the table.

C U 5

I 5
B U S 5
5 N N 5

5 E N E 5
See the shaded region U + N = N it means that the value of U may be equal to 0 or it will be equal to 9.

Two cases: If S + 5 = _E (if carry comes then value of U will be 9)

S + 5 = E (No Carry then the value of U will be 0)

Let’s take the value of U will be ‘0’ and redraw the table.

C 0 5

I 5

B 0 S 5
5 N N 5

5 E N E 5
And (C 0 5) * 5 = B 0 2 5 So, the value of (S = 2), Observe the last multiple

(C 0 5) * I = 5 N N 5 means the value of I is odd (3, 7, 9) and it is greater than 5000 so take value of I is
greatest odd digit = 9 and redraw the table.

C 0 5

9 5

B 0 2 5

5 N N 5

5 E N E 5
See the shaded region 2 + 5= E the value of E = 7, and (C 0 5) * 9 = 5 4 4 5
The value of N = 4 and redraw the table.

C 0 5

5 7 4 7 5
To get B + 4 = 7 the value of B = 3 and to get (C 0 5) * 5 = 3 0 2 5 the value of c should be equal to 6
and redraw the table.

A S K

T O

K A R L

O S A K

T Y S O L

Solution:

Let’s see clearly (T O) * K = K from this there will be two possibilities

1) T = (3, 7, 9) and K = 5

2) T = 6 and K = (2, 4, 8)

And there is no other clue to estimate which possibility is better to approach first.

Let’s try with the first possibility take T = 3 and K = 5 and draw the table

A S 5
 3 O

5 A R L

O S A 5

T Y S O L

Next the only way to approach is 5 * O = L the value for O = (2, 4, 6, 8) if we keep O = 2 then at last

O + carry = T ( 2 + 1 = 3) the value 3 is assigned to two letters it is contradictory.

Let’s take the value of O = 4, T = 7(3 is contradiction) and proceed at last O + Carry = T ( 4 + 1 = 5) the
value 5 is assigned to two letters it is also contradictory.

So take value of O = 6 and draw the table.

A S 5

7 6

5 A R L

6 S A 5

7 Y S 6 L

From the table it is clear that 5 * 6 = L (5 * 6 = 0) L = 0 and T = 7, R + 5 = 6 so, R = 1.

A S 5

7 6
 5 A 1 0

6 S A 5

7 Y S 6 0

(A S 5) * 6 = 5 A 1 0 it will happen only when S = 8 and A = 9 and from the table

5 + S = Y (5 + 8 + carry = 4), Y = 4 let’s replace the table with all values.

9 8 5

7 6

5 9 1 0

6 8 9 5

7 4 8 6 0
