How to Do Vedic Math Shortcut Multiplication

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Write the two digit numbers next to each other as so: 97 x 93 Note: This example is for two-digit numbers that start with the same number and have second digits that equal 10 when added together (in this example

   In this case that would be: 7 x 3 = 21 , Here you can see that the final answer will look like xx21 ,,, 9021 , Keep in mind that the first digits are the same and the sum of the second digits equals
   10. 98 x 92 , 98 is
   -2 from 100, so write
   -2 above 98 92 is
   -8 from 100, so write
   -8 above 92 , You will see that it results in the same number. 98
   - 8 = 90 92
   - 2 = 90 ,,
   -2 x
   -8 = 16 , 9016 ,, 104 is +4 from 100, so write +4 above 104 103 is +3 from 100, so write +3 above 103 , You will see that it results in the same number. 104 + 3 = 107 103 + 4 = 107 ,, 4 x 3 = 12 , 10712
2. 2

   Step 2: both numbers start with 9 and the second digits

3. 3

   Step 3: 7 and 3

4. 4

   Step 4: have a sum of 10).

5. 5

   Step 5: we multiply the two second digits together.

6. 6

   Step 6: Place this result to the right-hand side of the final answer.

7. 7

   Step 7: Now add 1 to the first digit of the first number: 9 + 1 = 10

8. 8

   Step 8: Multiply 10 by the first digit of the second number: 10 x 9 = 90

9. 9

   Step 9: Place this result on the left-hand side of the final answer

10. 10

    Step 10: and you'll see that you have quickly calculated the correct answer to the original problem.

11. 11

    Step 11: Take another set of two-digit numbers to be multiplied.

12. 12

    Step 12: Above each number

13. 13

    Step 13: right the difference

14. 14

    Step 14: or how deficient each of the numbers is from 100.

15. 15

    Step 15: Cross-subtract these numbers from the value on the other side of the multiplication sign.

16. 16

    Step 16: Place this number to the left-hand side of the final answer Now you can see that the final answer will look like 90xx

17. 17

    Step 17: Multiply the two differences together.

18. 18

    Step 18: Place this number to the right-hand side of the final answer

19. 19

    Step 19: and again see that you have quickly calculated the correct answer to the original problem.

20. 20

    Step 20: Take the two three-digit numbers to be multiplied and write as so: 104 x 103

21. 21

    Step 21: Now that we are above 100

22. 22

    Step 22: right down how much higher each number is from 100.

23. 23

    Step 23: Cross-add these numbers from the value on the other side of the multiplication sign.

24. 24

    Step 24: Place this number to the left-hand side of the final answer Now you can see that the final answer will look like 107xx

25. 25

    Step 25: Multiply the two differences together.

26. 26

    Step 26: Place this number to the right-hand side of the final answer

27. 27

    Step 27: and even here you'll be able see that you have quickly calculated the correct answer.
