PROJECT- VEDIC MATHEMATICS

Objective: 

To introduce some interesting and single step methods of calculations from Vedic Mathematics. -Long multiplication by Vedic Mathematics

 Vedic Mathematics is our age-old mathematics from the Vedas. It is amazing to note that Vedic Mathematics is a part of mathematics syllabus in schools.

Given below are some very simple examples for you to appreciate Vedic Mathematics.

To multiply by numbers having digit 9 only, i.e., 9, 99, 999, 9999, ....

(1) When a single-digit number is multiplied by 9.

Example: 8 x 9

Method: 

Step 1. Reduce 8 by 1 to get 7= 72 

Step 2. Subtract 7 from 9 to get 2

(ii) When a two-digit number is multiplied by 9.

Example: Multiply: 68 x 99

Long method: 

Single-step method (Vedic Mathematics Method)

Step 1. 68-1 = 67

6 8 X 9 9

(Subtract 1 from the first number.)        

Step 2.  

99-67 = 32

 (Subtract each digit obtained in step 1 from 9.)

 68 x 99 = 6732 

68 x 99 = 6732

(iii) When a three-digit number is multiplied by 999.

Example: 439 x 999

Long Method Single-step method (Vedic Mathematics Method)

   

439 x 999 = 438561

(iv) 60 x 999 = 060 x 999 = 059940 = 59940
