Vedic Mathematics is the mathematical presentation of sixteen simple mathematical formulas
from the Vedas. In the Artharva veda we can find a significant amount of mathematics. This formulas can be used for almost every branch of Mathematics. This can be used even to complex
problems involving a large number of mathematical operations. We will see use of some of this formulas over here.
1. Ekadhikena Purvena
The term Ekādhikena Pūrvena means: “By
one more than the previous one”.
Now see the use of this formula-
example 352-
Now relate this formula over here.
Over here the we
have to find out the square of the number 35. For this number 35, the last digit is
5. So, previous digit is 3. Now formula says one more than the previous one. So, We get-
3+1=4
Now multiply this result with the previous no, we get-
3X4=12
This is first part of the answer.
2nd part is even easier and always be same.
I.E., square of the last digit which is always 52, that is, 25.
Thus 352 = 3 X 4 / 25
= 1225.
In the same way,
652= 6 X 7 / 25 = 4225;
1052= 10 X 11/25 = 11025;
1352= 13 X 14/25 = 18225;
This formulas are not fluke at all. This formula can also be proved algebraically. Consider-
(ax + b)2 Ξ a2. x2+ 2abx + b2.
say,
x = 10 and b = 5 so,
(10a + 5) 2 = a2 . 102 + 2. 10a . 5 + 52
=
a2 . 102+ a.102+ 52
=
(a2+ a ) . 102 +52
Example: 45 = (40 + 5)2, It is of
the form (ax+b)2 for a = 4,
x=10 and b = 5. giving the answer a (a+1) / 25
Answer- 4 (4+1) / 25 + 4 X 5 / 25 = 2025
2. Nikhilam navatascaramam Dasatah
This term means “all from 9 and the last from 10”.
Now use this formula for multiplication for two base line numbers.
Example-1: 98 X 97
Find differences of this numbers with its base. That is 100.
So, 98 - 02
97 - 03
Now multiply this differences-
02 X 03= 06 (Last part of your answer)
Now crossly find difference between any main number and difference of other main number.
So, 98-03=95 or 97-02=95
Answer= 9506
You can check this for numbers close to 1000 also. Say 997 X 992. Base is 1000.
Example-2: 996 X1008
996 - 004
1008 - 008
Step-1: 004 X 008=032
Step-2: 1000-032=968(Last part of the answer)
Step-3: 996+008=1004 or 1008-004=1004
Step-4: 1004-1=1003(First part of the answer)
Answer- 1003968.
Example-3: 104 X 108
104 - 04
108 - 08
Step-1: 04 X 08=032(Last part of the answer)
Step-2: 104+08=112 or 108+04=112(First part of the answer)
Answer- 11232
I will also post other tricks using this formulas very soon. I will also try to bring other formulas also. Before that please give your review about it.
