VEDIC MATHS

                           By OMKAR TENDOLKAR

Hello friends,

                      This is  blog number 31 from the series of "Vedic maths" blogs. Here in this blog we will learn about "Base method of multiplication"

The base method of multiplication is having large contribution in Vedic Mathematics. The name Base method is given by Vedic Mathematics in western countries. 

Actual Sanskrit sutra as given by Swamiji to define this system is:

‘Nikhilam Navatascaramam Dasatah.’ It means ‘all from 9 and the last from 10.’

For all practical purposes, we shall be calling the system elaborated in this chapter as the 'Nikhilam method' or simply the ‘Base Method'.

This method is used to multiply numbers. It is helpful in many  cases where traditional multiplication takes a long time to calculate the answer. Let us take the case of multiplying the number 9999999 by 9999991. 

If you go by the traditional method it will take a long time to multiply the numbers and calculate the product. However with the technique described in the Base Method one can find the answer in less than 5 seconds. The study of the Base Method is important to understand the other formulae of Vedic Mathematics.

There is a corollary of the Base Method which is called the Yavadunam Rule. This sutra is used in squaring numbers that we will discussed in the next post of our blogs.

OVERVIEW

This system is called the Base Method because in this system we use a certain number as a base. This base can be any number, but generally we use powers of 10. The powers of 10 include numbers like 10, 100, 1000, 10000, etc. We select a particular base depending upon the numbers given in the question. 

Suppose we are asked to multiply 97 by 99; in this case the appropriate base would be 100 as both these numbers are closer to 100. 

If we are asked to multiply 1005 by 1020 then the appropriate base would be 1000 as both the numbers are closer to 1000.

Secondly, we will find the answer in two parts — the left hand side and the right hand side. The left hand side will be denoted by the acronym LHS and the right hand side will be denoted by the acronym RHS.

In next blog we will discuss about "Steps in the Base method of multiplication with example".     


Are you excited for this?...
Then, please wait for it.
I will post my new blog in next week.

We will meet very soon through our next  blog. Till that stay connected, stay healthy and stay safe.

Thanks

for giving your valuable time.

Good day😊.

  VEDIC MATHS                             By OMKAR TENDOLKAR Hello friends,                        I am Omkar Tendolkar from Kudal. I am studying in S.Y.B.Sc at SRM College, Kudal. I always enjoy sharing my knowledge. This is one of my attempts.            Some people find mathematics challenging to understand, while others struggle with calculations. Certainly, the comprehension of the subject depend on IQ (intelligent quotient), but equally crucial is one's perspective towards it. Because mastering calculation doesn't solely rely on a sharpe IQ; it also demands some basic tricks that can greatly assist in handling complex calculations.                  Starting today, I want to launch a "VEDIC MATHS" blog. Here, you will find a series of blog's explaining simple tricks that will...

VEDIC MATHS                             By OMKAR TENDOLKAR Hello friends,                          This is our first blog in the series of 'Vedic Maths' blogs. Here, we will learn about the basic principles required in Vedic Maths. This blog will cover all the fundamental concepts necessary for understanding our next few blogs.   Base: It is the first number in the series. For a two-digit number: 10. Starting with 10, 100, 1000, 10000, etc. Complement: . Adding two numbers results in the next nearest base. 48 + 52 = 100. Then, We can say that 48 is the complement of 52 or 52 is the complement of 48. How to find: Subtract each digit from 9 and the last digit from 10. If... The last digit is 0, then take the second-to-last digit as the last one. For example: 60 is the complement of 40. All these examples, ranging from 2 digits to 6 digits, w...

  VEDIC MATHS                             By OMKAR TENDOLKA R Hello friends,                       This is our 15th blog from the series of "Vedic maths" blogs. Here in this blog we will learn about   "Criss-Cross System of Multiplication " . Criss-Cross System of Multiplication :                In Vedic Mathematics , we have similar system as like traditional way of multiplication it helps us to get the answer much faster. This system is also universal system and can be used for any combination of numbers of any length.                      This system of Multiplication is given by the " Urdhva-Tiryak Sutra. " It means ' vertically and cross-wise '. The application of this system are manifold, but in this blog we shall confine our study only to it's utility in...
