Been doing these for a long time.. My favourite is the splitting multiplication 78 * 99 = 7800 - 78 = 7722 32 * 189 = 6400 - 352 = 6048 160 *2345 = 234500 + 46900 + 46900 + 46900 = 234500 + 50000 + 50000 + 40700 =375200 9 Likes 1 Share |

All this tricks are sometimes useful in aptitude test situations. Just to add to the post. If you need to divide any number that ends with zero by 5. No matter how large the number is,just ignore the last zero, then multiply the initial digits by 2, then you get your answer. E.g 40÷5= ignore zero. 4×2 = 8 300÷5 ignore the last zero. 30×2= 60 10000÷5 again ignore the last zero. 1000×2 = 2000 40,000,000 ÷ 5 ignore the last zero, 4,000,000 ×2 is 8,000,000. It was akara they sent me that night, then it used to be sold for 5 naira then I started playing with the numbers o and I discovered the trick. I can't forget that night. Note: This only works with Numbers that ends with zero. No matter how large Another one. For calculating sum of an arithmetic progression, use this simple formula. If you know the middle number. Just multiply it by the number of terms, you will get your answer. E.g 1,3,5,7,9. The sum is 5×5= 25. From the raw calculation, 1+3+5+7+9 = 25 If you try other examples too, it works for it. Note: This only works for sum of AP and not GP. 23 Likes 2 Shares |

....It seem alright but in reality, I would prefer to use my calculator. My mind is too busy trying to work out the solution than to do this shii mehn.... On a completely unrelated topic, how bout you read this treatise about infinity "You can divide infinity an infinite number of times and the resulting pieces will still be infinite. But if you divide a non-infinite number an infinte number of times, the resulting pieces are non- infinitely small but there is an infinite number of them. Since they are non infinitely small with an infinte number of them, added together, their sum is infinite. That implies that any number is infact, infinite 3 Likes |
