multiplication Tricks to Make Mathematics Fun and Easy 😉 #maths #multiplication #nikimaths Multiplication Tricks to Make Mathematics Fun and Easy 😉 Multiply by 5 Quickly If the number is even, halve it and add a zero. Example: 6 × 5 = (6 ÷ 2) + 0 = 3 → 30 If the number is odd, subtract 1, halve it, then add 5. Example: 7 × 5 = (7 – 1) ÷ 2 = 3 → 35 9 Times Table Finger Trick (1–10) Hold out both hands. To multiply 9 × n, fold down the nth finger. Example: 9 × 4 → fold the 4th finger. You get 3 fingers up (left) and 6 fingers up (right) → 36 Multiply by 11 (for 2-digit numbers) For 11 × AB (where A and B are digits): insert (A + B) between them. Example: 11 × 23 → 2 (2+3) 3 = 253 (If A+B ≥ 10, carry over) Square Numbers Ending in 5 Formula: (n5)² = n × (n+1) + 25 Example: 25² = 2 × 3 = 6 → 625 Doubling and Halving Trick If one number is even, halve it and double the other for simpler multiplication. Example: 16 × 25 → 8 × 50 → 4 × 100 = 400
