  • This mental multiplication trick uses the idea of a third number - a base number - to help us multiply two numbers in your head. This series of videos first looks at multiplying numbers near 10 using base 10. The second video looks at multiplying using base 20 and 30. The third video looks at how to apply this mental multiplication trick to numbers near 50. The forth video the investigates ho to easilt mentally multiply numbers near to 100.

    its so much easier learning from your videos than under a pressured school environment, im learning so fast and picking up everything i missed in school.

    Simple distributive property works for any number pairing
    23X21 = (23)(20) + 23(1) = 460+23 = 483
    53X51 = (53)(50) +53(1) = 2650 + 53 = 2703

    I really love how you added the idea to halve the number first, before multiplying by 100 - I think it's easier that way. Thanks again, this is so awesome!

    Many thanks for the insightful method! Funny - after watching base 10, base 20/30 and base 50 I asked a friend to give me a multiplication problem with 2 numbers where each number was > or = 59 and I would solve it in my head in less than 30 seconds, she said ok "36 x 16" ..... I approached it with base 20, absolute perfect pick on her part!

    Now, supposing we'd chosen the use the more difficult difference, -4/5.
    It still works, but it's more difficult to do mentally.
    So, 17 -4/5 = 16 1/5 = 16.2
    Since we're using the right-hand difference, we now have to multiply by the right-hand (secondary) base of 100: 16.2 x 100 = 1620
    The rest is the same. Multiply the (unmodified) differences: -3 x -4 = +12
    Which gives: 1620 +12 = 1632

    I will tell you a trick
    1- 96 is near from 100 with -4
    2- 17 is near from 25 with -8
    3- divide 4 by 4 = 1
    4- subtract 1 from 17 = 16
    5- multiply 16*100=1600
    6- multiply -4*-8=32
    7- Add 32 to 1600 = 1632 This is the answer.
    Another Example to understand 92* 23 ok
    1- 92 is near to 100 with -8
    2- Divide 8/4=2
    3- 23 is near to 25 with -2
    4- Subtract 2 from 23 = 21
    5- Multiply 21 * 100 = 2100
    6- Multiply -8*-2=16
    7- add 16 to 2100 = 2116 Hope this helpful to you

    Rather than say, 50x100/2 it may be easier to do 50^2 in that example. This can be used for any numbers which are the same distance from the base. IE 66x74= 70^2-6x4=4876 (subtraction is used because one number is less than the base)

  • @scmtuk3662
    @scmtuk3662 3 года назад

    The general algebraic method is:
    (10x + y)(10x + z) (this represents the two 2-digit numbers)
    The units values of the two numbers are y and z respectively.
    We then cross add the units from one number to the whole of the other number.
    For obvious reasons, it doesn't matter which way you do it. This is because if you add the z to the 10x + y, you get 10x + y + z, and if you add the y to the 10x + z, you also get 10x + y + z.
    We then, multiply _that_ number by 10x. We then get 100x^2 + 10xy + 10xz.
    Then we multiply the units digits to get yz, and add this to the rest of the answer to get 100x^2 + 10xy + 10xz + yz.
    How does this work? Well, what if we just expand the brackets using the "FOIL" (first, inner, outer, last) method?
    (10x + y)(10x + z)
    First = 10x * 10x = 100x^2
    Inner = y * 10x = 10xy
    Outer = 10x * z = 10xz
    Last = y * z = yz
    Add them together and there you go.

      No we substitute 50 with 100/2. If there is a remainder then we put a 50 at the end. I have a video on it in my channel.

    When the numbers are the same distance from the “base”, use difference of squares.
    52 × 48 = (50+2)(50-2) = 50² - 2² = 2496.

    It is better when you just multiply the sum of the added number by the tenth's place digit. Haha example 52x57 where its nearest is 50 so just looking at 50, I'll get the 5 which is in the tens place and multiply it by (52+7), shortening the process haha..

    sir, i loved ur these three consecutive videos. but im getting stuck when im multiplying 43 with 63. how am i gonna do that if i take the base as 50? also, what am i going to do while multiplying 34 with 85?

    • @LyfSukz
      @LyfSukz 4 года назад +7

      I realize that this question was asked 3 years ago, but i'm glad you asked it because it really gave me an opportunity to test my grasp of this concept, and it gave my mind something to do while i was on the toilet lol.
      The first one kinda follows the examples given in the video. Using base 50, 63 is 13 over, and 43 + 13 = 56, so we're working with 56 x 50 = 2800. Then you subtract (50-43) + 13 = 91, giving 2709.
      That second one was super tricky. Mostly because you have to store numbers in your head because the process needs to be done twice. But using base 50 again makes it somewhat easier, because of the shortcut that goes with it.
      So i had to start by storing 34 in my head, and then saying those numbers are (-16) and (+35) from base 50. But now you need to multiply those numbers, so you use the base 20 trick. So 35 - 4 = 31, giving us 620, then subtract (4 x 15) to get 560.
      So then we recall that 34 we had tucked away, add 35 = 69, shortcut using base 50 again to 3450, then subtract the 560 for the final answer 2890.
      I kept getting stuck when i was trying to store the 3450 in my head and then trying to calculate the -560 afterwards, so i had to do it backwards to make it work. And even when i finally got it, it was by no means a fast process, but i imagine it can get faster with practice.
      Anyway, thanks for the challenge!

    4*5 = 20*100=2000
    2. Multiply the first digit of each by the second digit of the other number and make the sum
    40*3 = 120
    50*7=350
    120+350=470
    3. Multiply the second digits
    7*3=21
    4. Sum it all together
    2000+470+21= 2491

    Good stuff! But what if you have to deal with numbers like 98 x 24. What base should you use in that case? It appears to be significantly harder. Is there a special method for these kinds of problems?

    • @GunterJPN
      @GunterJPN Год назад

      98 is 2 away from 100. 2x24 is 48. The answer is 48 short of what 24x100 would have been, so 2352.

    • @ClaudioButtazzo-dn6td
      @ClaudioButtazzo-dn6td Год назад

      Hi, only now I readed to you. In this case is little bit more complicate but its possible to calculating it too on head. You can *choose* the BASE that you want example to multiplication 24●86 you could choose base 10 or 20. If for example you will choose *"20"* you hade : 20●(86+4★★) + (4●66)= 20●90+264= 1800+264= *2064* . How you see you can choose the *"base"* that you want, but more FAR will be the BASE between they 2 number, and more bigger will be the number to calculate it. Its was good my explication? Ps... with this★★I mean that you could use *66+24* ,the results will be always *90* , ok? ~~>> *66* is the difference between *86 & 20* , and who *4* is the difference between *24 & 20* , ok?

    • @ClaudioButtazzo-dn6td
      @ClaudioButtazzo-dn6td Год назад

      So after my example try to resolve your 98●24...... in this case you could use *base 100 or 20* . 100 is more easy, but try make with boths ok? But you can use the 3. method: if *a=24 and b=98* you have ~> a●b= a●{(100-(100-b)} 24●{(100 - (100-98)}= 24●(100-2)= *(24●100) + 24●(-2)* = 2400-48= *2352* very easy not?

    I worked through the 10s, 20s and 30s fast and did the questions with no problems but the 50s gave me a bit of a problem.

    What do you do when the numbers aren't the same like 54 *28?

    I've been trying numbers above 59 and the numbers don't add up. 62x63=3906 not 3256 (3250 + 6). Any suggestions? Thanks.

    what if the base numbers are far away like 22*48 or 17*54?

    • @BenRickProductions

      use the base thats kinda in the middle and they should even out and it schould become quite easy again

      Then make it your base 40 where 22 is lacking -18 and 48 +8 and so on trust me it faking works his video teaching superb works

      li shunchuen 1,862. Did that in my head, but it took like 5 mins. Used 50 as base 😊

      @rickybobby5584 10 лет назад

      li shunchuen consider 19 as 20 like ( 20 times 98 which is 1960 ) then subtract 98 from the total ( 1960 minus 98 which 1862 )
