Guys just a trick..

mathslover (mathslover):

tell me a random 3 digit number having unit digit greater than or equal to 3

mathslover (mathslover):

like 103, 104,105 , 878 etc.

mathslover (mathslover):

Note: instead of 999

mathslover (mathslover):

@mukushla

OpenStudy (anonymous):

467

mathslover (mathslover):

oh k .. now let me tell you something: 467 . . . . _________ 2465 those dots represent 4 more numbers like 467 .. and we will add them and I assure you that the sum of them will be 2465

mathslover (mathslover):

Now tell me another number like 467

OpenStudy (anonymous):

emm...321

mathslover (mathslover):

oh k nice... now we have : 467 . 321 . . . _________ 2465

mathslover (mathslover):

Now I will guess a number ok?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

mathslover (mathslover):

Oh k let me guess a number 678

mathslover (mathslover):

467 . 321 . 678 . ____ . ____ _________ 2465

Parth (parthkohli):

I know this trick already :p

mathslover (mathslover):

Now your chance @mukushla guess a number again

mathslover (mathslover):

@ParthKohli please don't tell others if you know... let them know it .. by me :P

Parth (parthkohli):

I think I saw it on TV once, but I won't interfere.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

emm...761

mathslover (mathslover):

thanks @ParthKohli ok @mukushla now we have : 467 . 321 . 678 . 761 . ____ _________ 2465

mathslover (mathslover):

Now my turn ok? so i will go with 238

Parth (parthkohli):

and now can I tell how he did that? :P

mathslover (mathslover):

467 . 321 . 678 . 761 . 238 _________ 2465

mathslover (mathslover):

the sum is 2465 .. that's all :P is it interesting @mukushla ?

mathslover (mathslover):

parth no... I will tell

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is ... very nice trick....:D

mathslover (mathslover):

ok so what I did that You gave me the number 467 first now i did like this unit digit = 7 = 7-2 = 5 ten's digit = 6 =6 hundred's digit = 4 thousand's digit = ? = 2 ( that you subtracted first )

mathslover (mathslover):

hence I have ... 2465 as the answer

mathslover (mathslover):

Also the numbers that I chose were not my guess .. you gave me : 321 what I did was just subtract 321 from 999... and just wrote the number as my guess :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol...;) that was nice

mathslover (mathslover):

:P .. nice to know :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey lets try one another

mathslover (mathslover):

oh k go for it @mukushla

OpenStudy (anonymous):

..i mean another trick

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are u ready?

mathslover (mathslover):

hmn let us have it here.. go for it @mukushla

mathslover (mathslover):

I am always ready :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

guess a number and dont tell it to me

mathslover (mathslover):

I guessed...

Parth (parthkohli):

BTW, this could have been there in chat too. :p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah...this is short we'll finish it soon ok now subtract its inverse from itself like once u have guessed number as 876 then u do this : 876-678=something

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how many digits does it have? i mean ur "something"

mathslover (mathslover):

i just guessed 1 - 1 = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol...a bigger one and dont show any of them to me

mathslover (mathslover):

oh k sorry g2g now... well i got this trick now.. there on net... :P sorry @ParthKohli will coorporate you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem we'll do it later.:)

Parth (parthkohli):

All right then

Parth (parthkohli):

I'm here >:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok how many digits in ur "something"?

Parth (parthkohli):

3....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok tell me 2 of them ... arbitrary

Parth (parthkohli):

Two of them?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 of the digits of "something"

Parth (parthkohli):

Hmmm.... 9 and 7.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

other one is 2 ? oh man i think i forgot the trick :(

Parth (parthkohli):

lol you are right :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if u subtract any number inverse from itself...then the result is divisible by 9

Parth (parthkohli):

Yes, I know the algebraic proof. :)

Parth (parthkohli):

And any number divisible by 9 has digits that sum up to a multiple of 9.

Parth (parthkohli):

Thanks! =)
