AT THE OFFICE

 

 

Show your colleagues in the office this beautiful method for multiplying numbers where the first figures are the same and the last figures add up to 10.

  • 32 x 38 = 1216

    Both numbers here start with 3 and the last
    figures (2 and 8) add up to 10.

    So we just multiply 3 by 4 (the next number up)
    to get 12 for the first part of the answer.

    And we multiply the last figures: 2 x 8 = 16 to
    get the last part of the answer.

    Diagrammatically:



  • And 81 x 89 = 7209

    We put 09 since we need two figures as in all the other examples.

The mathematician
does not study pure
mathematics because
it is useful; he studies
it because he delights
in it and he delights in it
because it is beautiful.
