Complex Divisions with Vedic Mathematics


Easier Solution for Complex Divisions

Now let us have a look at a sutra - "Ekadhiken Purven" out of a total of sixteen such sutras of Vedic Mathematics. Though this deals with multiplication and division both. Will talk about multiplication using this later, lets concentrate on division for the time being.

Divisibility Test of a number with traditional methods


Introduction:
In traditional methods, we are taught about checking divisibility by numbers like 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 and 11. We will see the divisibility rule for each of the numbers one by one.

Here I am going to talk about "Ekadhikena Purveṇa" i.e "One more than the previous one" and very important Vedic Mathematics formula and how to use it for multiplication.

Divisibility Testing with Vedic Mathematics


We all know divisibility tests for simple numbers like 2,3,4.etc but here I wish to demonstrate how to test for divisibility by 7, 11 and by higher prime numbers such as 13, 17, 19 and so on.

Calculate Squares within Seconds with Vedic Mathematics



"Ekadhikena Purveṇa" as we discussed for division is the Sanskrit term for "One more than the previous one" and very important Vedic Mathematics formula. We already know from the previous post that this formula can be used for both multiplication and division, here let us have a look at how it helps for multiplication:

Trick to identify exact squares


While Vedic math tricks would make squaring numbers very easy, these few tricks help identify perfect squares merely by observing the number:

Finding Squares with Vedic Mathematics


You know the squares of 30, 40, 50, 60 etc.

but if you are required to calculate square of 31 or say 61 then you will scribble on paper and try to answer the question.

Can it be done mentally?

Vedic mathematics contains a lot of formulas (Sutra) that not only allows us to do calculations without pen and paper, it also makes our brain to act faster. Now-a-days, to crack in a competitive exam, we must look into two factors, they are SPEED and ACCURACY. By learning Vedic mathematics, one can achieve these two important factors to crack in any competitive exam.

Solve Equations Easily with Vedic Mathematics


Let's learn to solve equations easily and fast with Vedic mathematics. When students are introduced to the concept of solving equations, the first method taught for solving basic equations is as follows:

Solve Simultaneous Linear Equations Easily


While trying to solve simultaneous equations, especially with bigger numbers, you can use this vedic math sutra to simplify the process.

Solve Quadratic Equations Easily with Vedic Maths


The Vedic math sutra used for simplifying equations is : "It is zero if the Samuccaya is Same"

This formula aims to simplify the solution of quadratic equations by setting some simple ground rules. But, before we understand the application of this Vedic math sutra with quadratic equation, let us start with basic equations and understand the applicability of this Vedic mathss sutra.

Calculate Cubes with Vedic Mathematics


Find Cube of a two digit number 

Example 1 : Find Cube of a two digit number : 14.

1. Find the ratio of the two digits i.e. 1:4 
2. Now write the cube of the first digit of the number i.e. 1 x 1 x 1

Calculate Cube Roots with Vedic Mathematics


Basic Rules for extraction of Cube Roots. The given  number is first arranged in three-digit groups  from right to left. A single digit if any left over at the left hand  is counted as a simple group itself The number of  digits in the cube root will be the same as  the number of digit-groups  in the given  number itself.

Addition Trick for Adding Two Digit Numbers


Adding Two Digit Numbers Trick

Let us begin with the basic method of adding two numbers
Take the example of 71 + 69

This is the usual method which we do with the help of pen and paper
Are you interested to do these calculations mentally?

Subtracting from a Large Power of Ten


The vedic math sutra - "All from nine and the last from ten"

Subtraction is not a very complex mathematics calculation but it would get difficult when you are dealing with large numbers and even more difficult when it results in carrying over from the left hand site number.

Multiply by Doubling and Halving


There are cases when you’re multiplying two numbers together and one of the numbers is even. In this case you can divide that number by two and multiply the other number by 2. You can do this over and over until you get to multiplication this is easy for you to do.

Dice Subtraction Math Trick


This is a good magic math trick for kids who could use a little subtraction practice. It gives them an incentive to do subtraction because that is how the trick works. Good for Kids in 2nd to 3rd grades but older students like it too.

Predict Sum of 5 Digit Numbers Math Trick


Magic Addition Trick: Predicting Sum of a series of 5-digit numbers  

Ask someone to write a number, say a 5-digit number. (Can be a 2-digit.....3-digit.....4-digit....etc...…).

Newspaper Prediction Trick


This newspaper prediction trick works on a little known principle. You rarely see it written up which is a shame as it makes for a quite mystifying fast impromptu magic trick.

Magic Number Nine Math Trick


 The Magic Number Nine


The effect:

In this mental magic trick you will confuse the skeptic in your audience by correctly predicting the result of a very complex series of calculations and then revealing your prediction in an extremely unusual way.

Age Prediction Math Trick Magic Age Cards


Tell the age of people (between 1 and 80) from the numbers RED or BLACK they pick.
This is an improved version of traditional ”Magic Age Cards". The introduction of red and black numbers allows a larger range of numbers (80 instead of 63) using fewer cards (just 4 cards instead of 6).

Leapfrog Addition of Fibonacci Sequence


Leapfrog Addition of Fibonacci sequence and the Golden (Ratio) prediction


This trick combines a quick mental calculation with an astonishing prediction.
The Fibonacci sequence is a series of whole numbers in which each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers. Beginning with 0 and 1, the sequence would be 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233… etc.

Speed Addition Left to Right Approach


Most of us are taught to do math on paper from right to left. And that's fine for doing math on paper. But if we want to do math in our head (even faster than we can on paper) there are many good reasons why it is better to work from left to right.After all, we read numbers from left to right, we pronounce numbers from left to right, and so it’s just more natural to think about (and calculate) numbers from left to right. When we compute the answer from right to left (as we probably do on paper), we generate the answer backward. That’s what makes it so hard to do math in our head.

Missing Digit Math Trick


The Missing Digit Trick!


Ask a friend to secretly write down ANY number (at least four digits long). e.g. 78341.

Ask the friend to add up the digits... e.g. 7+8+3+4+1=23.

... and then subtract the answer from the first number. e.g. 78341 - 23 = 78318
Your friend then crosses out ONE digit from the answer. (It can be any digit except a zero) e.g. 7x318

Basics of Vedic Mathematics


After introduction to Vedic Mathematics, let us start with basics. It would be good to take multiplication, and for that any 2 digit number with any other 2 digit number.

Basic Definitions:

Vedic mathematics is based on the concept of placing the numbers either at the unit place or tenths or hundredth and so on. So for ease of understanding, let us use this legend:

Multiplication of Two Numbers using Vedic Maths


Today we will learn how to multiply two numbers having first digits same and sum of second digits is 10 using Vedic Mathematics methods.

Let's understand it through examples.

Example 1:  47*43

Here first digits are same, i.e. 4. Sum of second digits is 7 + 3 = 10.
This is exactly the conditions we are talking.

Multiplication Techniques Using Vedic Maths Part 1



There is no change when any number is multiplied by 1.When we multiply one number by another then it is increased and becomes further away from one. When 4 is multiplies by 5 it becomes 20 which is further away from 4 and 5. Using our multiplication techniques, we relate each number very close to another number called base. The difference between the number and the base is termed as deviation. Deviation may be positive or negative. Positive deviation is written without the positive sign and the negative deviation, is written using a bar or negative sign on the number

About Vedic Mathematics


What is Vedic Mathematics?

It is an ancient technique, which simplifies multiplication, divisibility, complex numbers, squaring, cubing, square and cube roots. Even recurring decimals and auxiliary fractions can be handled by Vedic mathematics. Vedic Mathematics forms part of Jyotish Shastra or Astronomy which is one of the six parts of Vedangas. The Jyotish Shastra or Astronomy is made up of three parts called Skandas. A Skanda means the big branch of a tree shooting out of the trunk.
