Hello friends,

                      This is our second blog from the series of "Vedic maths" blogs. Here in this blog,  we will learn about "special multiplications".

                   In this blog, we will learn about the "multiplication of numbers with series of 9's" in Vedic maths. Using the method given below, we can instantly multiply any number by 99, 999, 9999, 99999, etc.

                 This technique is divided into three case. In the first case, we will multiplying a given number with an equal number of nines. In the second case, we will be multiplying a number with a lower number of nines. In the third case,  we will be multiplying a number with a higher number of nines.

Special multiplication:

Multiplication of numbers with a series of 9's

Case 1:

(Multiplying a number with an equal number of nines)

Rules:

1. Substract 1 from number 
2. Substract all digits from 9 & last from 10
3. Both number must have the same number of digits

For example:

654 × 999 = ?

Multiply 654 by 999

Since,

(multiplicand  digit = multiplier digit) hence,

It falls into the first case.

• We subtract 1 from 654 and write half the answer as 653. Answer at this stage 653____.
• Now we will deal with 654. Subtract each digit, six and five, from nine, and the last digit, four, from ten. Write them in the answer one by one.
• Nine minus six is 3. Nine minus five is 4. Ten minus four is 6.
• The answer already obtained was 653, and now we append the digits 3, 4, and 6 to it. The complete answer is 653346.

Answer:

654 × 999 = 653346.

More examples:

1. 56×99=5544
2. 892×999=891108
3. 5642×9999=56414358
4. 48592×99999=4859151408
5. 814365×999999=814364185635

The simplicity of this method can be vouched from the examples given above.

You may try the following example:

1. 7777 × 9999

2. 65432 × 99999

3. 90909 × 99999

You may answer this in the comment box. Feel free to ask any questions or share your doubts in the comment section, and I will try to resolve them as soon as possible.

In next blog we will discuss multiplications of a number with a lower number of nines.

Are you excited for this?...

If so, please stay tuned. 

I will post my new blog next week.

We will meet again through our next blog. Until then, stay connected, stay healthy, and stay safe.

Thank you for giving your valuable time. 

Have a good day! 😊
