Friends, we have already discussed the following methods in our various posts which we have updated earlier. In this post we are just summarizing all those simple time saving techniques with examples so that it will be easier for you to have a quick review.

Addition Shortcuts : 

Add 37 and 38
We can solve this problem in many ways.
  • 37+30+8 = 75
  • 37+3+35 = 75
  • 37 + 40 - 2 = 75

Subtraction Shortcuts :

Subtract 25 from 67
Since 25 = 20 + 5 ,
67-25 = 67 - 20 - 5 = 42


Multiplication Shortcuts :


Multiply 12 and 50
12 x 50 = 12 x 5 x 10
= 60x10 = 600

(You can actually multiply by 5 and then add a zero to it)

Note : We all know that, to multiply a number by 10, 100 or 1000, we add zeroes at the end of the given number.

28x10 = 280
325x100 = 32500
4623 x 1000 = 4623000

So if you want to multiply 5 with any number, then just add a zero to it and divide it with 2.

28 x 5 = 280/2 = 140

Multiply 569 x 99
We can use the same method explained above to solve this problem

as 99 = 100-1

569 x 99 = 569 x (100-1)
= 569 x 100 - 569 x 1
= 56900 - 569 = 56331

To multiply by 25, as 25 = (100/4), it is enough if we multiply the number by 100 and then divide the same by 4.

Multiply 64 and 25
We will consider 25 as 100/4 to solve this problem.
64 x 25 = 64x(100/4)
= 16x100 = 1600

Multiply 64 and 50
To multiply by 50, as 50 = 100/2,
it is enough if we multiply the number with 100 and then divide by 2.
64 x 50 = 64x (100/2) = (64/2) x 100 = 32x100 = 3200
Therefore, 64 x 50 = 3200

Multiply 105 x 51
We can take 51 as 50+1
so, 105 x 51
= 105 x (50+1)
= 105 x 50 + 105 x 1

=  ((105 x 100)/2) + 105 = (10500/2_ + 105 = 5250 + 1058 = 5355

Therefore, 105 x 51 = 5355

Multiply 64 x 125
To multiply a number by 125, as 125 = 1000/8, we can multiply the number by 1000 and then divide by 8.

64 x 125 = 64 x 1000/8
 = 64/8 x 1000 = 8x1000 = 8000

Therefore, 64x125 = 8000

Multiply 648 x 127
We can take 127 as 125+2
648x127 = 648x(125+2)
= 648x125 + 648x2
= 648 x (1000/8) + 648x2
 = 8100 x 1296
= 82296

now let us move on to the problems of divisions.

Division Shortcuts :

Note : While performing division, sometimes, the divisor can be converted into a fraction of 10, 100 or 1000. But you must remember to change the numerator accordingly in order to keep the value unchanged.

Divide 1500 % 500

1500/500 = (1500x2) / (500x2)
= 3000/1000 = 3

Simplify 350%50
350/50 = (350x2) / (50x2)  = 700/100 = 7
Divide 420 % 20
= 420/20 = (420x5)/(20/5)
= 2100/100 = 21

That's all for now friends. You can check detailed shortcut techniques of math from here. Happy Reading.

  2. 569*99 simple trick when multiplying by 99,88,66 etc.

    569*9 unit place 9*9=8(1) carry 8 then 6+9=15*9 =135+8=14(3) carry 14 then 5+6=11*9=99+14=11(3) carry 11 then 5*9=45+11=(56)
    answer will be 56331.
    thank you

  3. Onther one tric for sqaure 40 to 60
    firt squre of 50 = 2500 take as a prefrence now

    you want 42 sqaure

    50-42= 8
    now 2500
    - 8
    _______
    17
    now ad in 8 squre 64
    answer 1764
    if above then 50 to do not minas but ad
    54 squre 25+4 =29
    2916

  5. We can remember easily 41 to 50 squares..
    Jst write 16 to 25 frm top to bottom nd again write squares of 0 to 9 from bottom to top.. Hope u al understd
    41=1681
    42=1764
    43=1849
    44=1936
    45=2025
    46=2116
    47=2209
    48=2304
    49=2401
    50=2500

    1. thanq...its a simple technique...

  6. (42)2
    First do square of 2 = 4
    Den 4*2*2 = 16 so carry 1
    Den square of 4 = 16 + 1- carry = 17
    :1764
    Its nothing but a²+2ab+b²

    Square of 86=
    a²=64 so 64
    2ab = 2*8*6=96 96
    b² = 36 36
    So 7396
