Multiplied a second Best tricks
Our journey of Vedic Math Magic begins with chapter zero as it is the first digit of math language. During our journey, you’ll not only improve your math skills, you’ll increase your love of numbers. So, before actually beginning it, let’s set the stage for the multiply magic tricks by trying out how much time you take to carry out the following multiplication by using the old conventional method:
Example 1:Multiplied
47328 × 99999
This calculation by the usual long multiplication method,
which is the only method taught in schools, will take about 4-5 minutes. So try it out and check yourself:
You must have taken 4-5 minutes or even more to solve this sum.
  Get ready for the magic!
What if the answer to this calculation can be found in one step and in one line only?
Take 2 minutes to read and understand the following method and then see, it is a matter of few seconds only.
47328 × 99999 Multiplied

We shall find the answer in 2 parts: LHS (Left Hand Side) and
RHS (Right Hand Side).
For LHS answer, subtract 1 from the original number, i.e.
47328 – 1= 47327
For RHS answer, subtract all the digits of the LHS answer from 9,
i.e.
99999 -47327
52672
Combine both LHS and RHS parts of the answer, to get the final
answer as:
47328 × 99999 = 4732752672
Now, you might wonder “if this is mathematics or magic”? And the answer is: It is both.
Example 2:Multiplied
“It is magic until you understand it;
And it is mathematics thereafter”.
That is why I call it “Math Magic”.
32497 × 99999
LHS = 32497 – 1 = 32496
RHS=99999 – 32496 = 67503
So, the final answer is 3249667503.
Now, you can also try one example using this technique and again check how long you take this time:
Example 3:Multiplied
2375 × 9999
The answer can be directly written as:
2375 × 9999 = 23747625
Isn’t it amazing to find answers of such long multiplications through small subtractions in few seconds only!
Multiplication is a basic arithmetic operation that combines two or more numbers to find their product. It is often represented by the symbol “×” or “*”, and the result of a multiplication operation is called the product.
In multiplication, the numbers being multiplied are called factors. The number on the left side of the multiplication symbol is the multiplicand, and the number on the right side is the multiplier. When you multiply the multiplicand by the multiplier, you get the product.
For example, in the multiplication expression 3 × 4, 3 is the multiplicand, 4 is the multiplier, and the product is 12. You can think of this as adding 3, four times: 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12.
Multiplication has several properties, including:
- Commutative Property: The order of the factors does not affect the product. For example, 3 × 4 is the same as 4 × 3.
- Associative Property: The grouping of factors does not affect the product. For example, (2 × 3) × 4 is the same as 2 × (3 × 4).
- Identity Property: Multiplying a number by 1 does not change the value of that number. For example, 5 × 1 = 5.
- Zero Property: Multiplying any number by 0 results in 0. For example, 6 × 0 = 0.
Multiplication is a fundamental operation in mathematics and is used in various fields such as arithmetic, algebra, calculus, and more. It is used for tasks like scaling, calculating areas and volumes, determining rates, solving equations, and many other mathematical operations and applications.
In mathematics, multiplication is an arithmetic operation that combines two numbers, called multiplicands, to produce a third number, called the product. It is denoted by the symbol “×” or “*”. Multiplication is a fundamental operation and is used to find the total when a number is repeated a certain number of times or to find the area or volume of geometric shapes.
When multiplying two numbers, the multiplicand is the number being multiplied, and the multiplier is the number by which the multiplicand is being multiplied. The product is the result of the multiplication.
For example, in the expression 3 × 4, the number 3 is the multiplicand, 4 is the multiplier, and the product is 12. The multiplication can also be represented as 3 * 4 = 12.
Multiplication can be performed with various types of numbers, such as whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and even complex numbers. The rules of multiplication differ slightly depending on the type of numbers being multiplied.
In addition to the basic multiplication operation, there are other concepts related to multiplication, such as multiplication tables, multiplication algorithms (e.g., long multiplication), and properties of multiplication (e.g., commutative property, associative property, distributive property).
