Math Tricks - Quickly numbers that end in 5

The 5’s times table refers to the multiplication table for the number 5. It shows the results of multiplying 5 by the numbers from 1 to 10. The speed math is the ability to perform rapid mental calculations, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. This can be achieved by utilizing mental shortcuts, breaking down numbers into more manageable parts, and employing techniques like approximation and estimation.

However, Vedic mathematics does provide various techniques and shortcuts for performing mathematical calculations efficiently. Some of the commonly known techniques include: The term “Ekadhikena Purvena” used to quickly square numbers that end in 5.

Example: 35^2

When using “Ekadhikena Purvena”, you take a number ending in 5 and follow these steps to find its square:

1. Take the non-5 part of the number and multiply it by itself plus 1.

1.1> Append 25 to the result obtained in step 1.

1.2> To illustrate with an example, let’s consider the number 35:

1. The non-5 part is 3, so we multiply 3 by itself plus 1: 3 × (3 + 1) = 3 × 4 = 12.

2.1> Append 25 to the result: 1225.

2.2> Therefore, 35^2 is equal to 1225.

This technique simplifies the process of squaring numbers ending in 5, allowing for quicker mental calculations.
