tell me how to multiply Numbers between 11 & 20 using trick?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12*13 , 12*15............................just multiply....it wont take much time lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey i want trick dude

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

first add the digits of 20 2 + 0 = 2 then put that 2 between the digits of 20 giving you 220 this only works for 11 times two digit numbers though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There is a fast way of multiplying numbers of any length by 11 very easily if you want to hear it? Regarding other numbers between 11 and 20, let me show an example of how I would work it out: Say we have 13*15. I would do 13*10=130 and 13*5=65 and add them together to get 13*15=130+65=195. Breaking down the multiplication into easier blocks is how I do everything in my head. Let me know if you want to know the trick for 11 digit numbers.

traxter tell me trick?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

13 * 11 = 1st digit sum of two digit last didit

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[13\times17=(10+3)\times(10+7)\] \[=10^2+(3+7)10+(3\times7)\]\[=100+10\times10+21\]\[=100+100+21\]\[=221\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

= 13 *11 = 1 1+3 3 = 143

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[19\times11=10^2+(9+1)\times10+(9\times1)=209\]

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

yes @Yahoo! that's what i said lol

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

11 * 20 = 2 (2 + 0) 0 => 220 11* 21 = 2 ( 2+1) 1 => 231 11*22 = 2 ( 2 + 2) 2 = > 242 etc.

OK the trick is as follows. We will be writing our answer as we go along from right to left, underneath the actual question. Say we have 12345*11. The last digit of the answer is the same as the last digit of the question, so leave the 5 unchanged. Now look to the next digit to the left, 4. Add this to the number to it's right (4+5=9) and write this under the 4. Look to the next digit to the left, 3. Add this to the number to it's right (3+4=7) and write this under the 3. Look to the next digit to the left, 2. Add this to the number to it's right (2+3=5) and write it under the 2. Look to the next digit to the left, 1. Add this to the number to it's right (1+2=3) and write it under the 1. Finally, we imagine a 0 before the 1 and do as we have been doing. 0+1=1, which we write as the first digit of the answer. Overall, we have the answer as 135795. Let me know if you need more clarification of the method, the trick is to do it and write the answer down right to left under the question as you go along.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

can that solve 11111 * 11 @Traxter ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

122221

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

hmm weird...that should've come out as 12344321 or something... i guess i had he wrong digits

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll show you step by step with drawings how to do it if you like?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1345456854719:dw| Leave first digit as it is. |dw:1345456891420:dw| Look at next digit to left, add to the digit on it's right. |dw:1345456941600:dw| keep going, writing the next digit of the answer below the next digit in the question... |dw:1345457037372:dw| Imagine a zero before the first digit of question and do the same trick. Does that make more sense? It's strange because you work out the answer from right to left, but with some practice it's great.
