Finding out the square of any number in seconds

Saturday, December 19th, 2009

square-root-in-secondsWe cannot imagine the world without calculations i.e, Mathematics. It is present in all phases of  our life. Irrespective of our background or discipline we use it. Now i am going to share with you a small short cut for fast calculation. It is highly useful for the students. Particularly those who are preparing themselves for competitive exam.

Finding out the  square of any number in just 20 seconds.

For example let us take 23 and we will find out the square for this number in the easiest and quickest way.

STEPS

A.  First reduce the number’s unit digit to zero. In this case it is 20. Now the unit digit is zero or we can simply subtract

3 from 23 it comes to 20.

B. Now we should add back that 3 to 23. The total comes as 26. So we should subtract and add only once.

C. In the third step you will multiply the 2 numbers i.e, 20 and 26. Multiplication of these numbers is 520.

D. Finally we should take the square of digit 3, which we have subtracted first and added again, that is 9.

and should add them 520+9= 529.

Let us take 35 as one more example.

35-5 = 30  and 35+5 = 40

30*40 = 1200

5*5 = 25

1200+25 = 1225.

Vedic Mathematics Multiplication Trick

vedic-mathameticsMathematics is a subject which is used in your daily life. It does not matter whether you are a student or not, you have to make calculations. Therefore it becomes impertinent to make fast calculations. I will tell you here about some of the shortcuts which are used in multiplication. These shortcuts will save your time and it will make students task easier in those exams where calculators are not allowed. This formula is also useful for those people who give aptitude test. There is a fundamental formula of multiplication which is given below:
(Ax2 + Bx +C) x (Px2 + Qx + R) = (Apx4 + (AQ+BP) x3 + (AR + BQ + CP) x2 + (BR + CQ) x + CR)
On putting x=10 in the given formula we can easily multiply 2 or 3 digits numbers
Let us take two 3 digit numbers 532 and 653 just to show you how multiplication is done with this method.
First of all multiply last digits of the numbers.
