SQUARING ANY TWO DIGIT NUMBER ENDING IN ONE OR NINE
Squaring any two digit number ending in 1 or 9 is very interesting and easy method. Two digit numbers ending in 1 are from 11 to 91.Two digit numbers ending in 9 are from 19 to 99.
The trick is to multiply together the two whole numbers on either side of the number you are squaring, and then add one.
Let’s see how it works.
Problem:-
31x31 (square of 31)
Step 1:-find the two whole numbers on either of 31 that are 30 and 32
Step 2:-multiply the two whole numbers.30x32=960.
Step 3:- add one to 960 The answer is 961.
Square of 31 is 961.
One more example:
61x61
The two whole numbers on either side of 61 are 60 and 62.
Product of 60 and 62 is 3720.
Adding 1 to 3720 we get 3721.
The answer is 3721.
SQUARE OF ANY TWO DIGIT NUMBER ENDING IN 9..
The method is same as above.
Consider an example of any two digit number ending in 9.
Suppose the number is 19.
Step 1:- find the two whole numbers on either side of 19, that are 18 and 20.
Step 2:- multiply the two whole numbers.
18x20=360.
Step 3:- adding 1 to 360 ,we get 361.
Square of 19 is 361.
This trick makes the calculation easier by changing one of the numbers into a multiple of 10..

Triangular Numbers
Pythagoras, the Greek mathematician is known as ‘The father of numbers.’ He explored the mathematical relationship with figurate numbers.
Pythagoras discovered triangular numbers. Triangular numbers are also called Triangle numbers. Pythagoras studied the triangular numbers under figurate numbers in geometry.
First natural number is 1.
Sum of the first two consecutive natural numbers is 1+2 =3
Sum of the first three natural numbers is 1+2+3=6
Sum of the first four natural numbers is 1+2+3+4=10
Sum of the first five natural numbers is 1+2+3+4+5=15
1, 3, 6, 10, 15…are triangular numbers. A triangle number is the sum of first n natural numbers.
Fredric Gauss discovered the formula for nth triangular number.
Nth triangular number=n (n+1)/2.
For example: 6 th triangular number= 6(6+1)/2= 6(7)/2= 21
Let’s try one more example.
36 th triangular number =36 (36+1) /2
=36 (37) /2= 666.
666 is called the beast number.
• Every triangular number is a natural number.
• Every triangular number except 1 is divisible by 3 or when divided by 9 the remainder is 1.
• Triangular numbers can never end in 2, 4, 7, or 9.
• Eight times of any triangular number plus 1 is always a perfect square number.
• Nine times of any triangular number plus 1 is always a triangular number.
• Sum of any two consecutive triangular numbers is always a perfect square number.
• Difference between two consecutive squares of any triangular numbers is always a perfect cube of a small triangular number.
• Some triangular numbers are there which reversals are also triangular numbers. The examples are 1,3,6,10,55,66,120,153,171,190 300,595,630,666,820.3003,etc.

Sum Of Ten Successive Fibonacci Numbers

Sum of any ten successive Fibonacci numbers is eleven times the seventh number.
Observe the following sequence.
1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,…
1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,…
In this sequence first two numbers are 1and 1.Third number is the sum of the first two numbers. Fourth number is the sum of the second and the third number. Each subsequent number is the sum of the two numbers before it. This sequence is called Fibonacci number sequence.
Fibonacci was an Italian mathematician. He introduced the Hindu-Arabic numeration system
to the west countries. He is well known in the modern world for spreading the Hindu-Arabic
Numeration system. The sequence of numbers is named after him. In Fibonacci sequence the first two numbers are 1 and 1.It is not necessary to take first two numbers be 1and 1.Take any two numbers then form Fibonacci like sequence.

For example
5, 7, 12, 19, 31, 50, 81…
5, 7, 12, 19, 31, 50, 81…
Consider the Fibonacci number sequence of 10 numbers.
1+1+2+3+5+8+13+21+34+55
1+1+2+3+5+8+13+21+34+55
In this sequence seventh number is 13 and the sum of all ten numbers is 143.143 is the product of 13 and 11.
This rule is applicable for any ten Fibonacci like sequence.
Another example:
5,7,12,19,31,50,81,131,212,343.
In this sequence seventh number is 81.
81x11=891.
Sum of all ten numbers is also 891.
5,7,12,19,31,50,81,131,212,343.
In this sequence seventh number is 81.
81x11=891.
Sum of all ten numbers is also 891.
How does this work?
Suppose a and b are any two numbers.
The sequence will be as follows,
Suppose a and b are any two numbers.
The sequence will be as follows,
a
b
a+b
a+2b
2a+3b
3a+5b
5a+8b
8a+13b
13a+21b
21a+34b
------------
55a+88b
55a+88b
Here seventh number is 5a+8b, when it is multiplied by 11 we get 55a+88b which is the total of all ten numbers.

MAGIC FRACTION OF ODD NUMBER SERIES STARTING FROM ONE
Series of odd numbers starting from 1 is 1+3+5+7+9+11+13+...
Suppose we take the first number of the series as a numerator, we have to take the Next number in the series as the denominator. Here numerator is 1 and the denominator is 3. The fraction will be 1/3.
Now the first two numbers of the series are 1+3 as a numerator.
Next two numbers are 5+7 .Take this as a denominator.
The fraction will be (1+3))/(5+7 )=4 /12.
Reduced fraction = 1/3.
In the same way continue the process ( 1+3+5)/(7+9+11)=9/27.
Reduced fraction = 1/3
SOME OTHER EXAMPLES:
(1+3+5+7+9+11)/(13+15+17+19+21+23 )
=36/108
Reduced fraction is 1/3.
How many numbers we take from the odd number series starting from 1 as a numerator, and the next same number of the series as a denominator, the reduced fraction is always 1/3.
Subtraction Made Easy
Subtraction is one of the basic operations in mathematics. It is opposite of addition. Subtraction means the difference between minuend and subtrahend. If minuend is larger than subtrahend, the difference is positive. If the subtrahend is larger than minuend, the difference is negative.
If there is no borrowing, the method is very easy. Generally students are bored when there is borrowing or regrouping in subtraction. There is some difficulty in understanding. It requires abstract thinking and drilling.
There are several methods of subtraction in arithmetic. The subtraction by Vedic mathematics method is one of the easy and simple methods. It is based on the principle, “All from nine and the last from ten”. It is called NIKHILAM. Nikhilam is one of the 16 main sutras of Vedic mathematics.
To apply Nikhilam to a number, subtract each digit from 9, except the last digit. The last digit is to be subtracted from 10.
Example of subtraction
IF SUBTRAHEND IS LESS THAN MINUEND
Example #1
3 6 2 5 - 1 7 8 9
Here the Subtrahend is 1 7 8 9.
Apply the sutra “all from nine and the last from ten” to the subtrahend number.
9-1 9-7 9-8 10-9
8 2 1 1
Now, add the result to the minuend.
3 6 2 5 + 8 2 1 1
= 1 1 3 8 6
Drop the first digit that is 1 from the left.
The result is 1 3 8 6. This is the answer
Example # 2
4 5 2 9 - 2 3 8 0
As per Nikhilam the subtrahend will be
9-2 9-3 10-8 0
7 6 2 0
When the last digit at subtrahend is 0, keep 0 as it is.Therfore in the above problem 8 is to be subtracted from 10.
Now add 7 6 2 0 to 4 5 2 9.The result is 1 2 1 4 9.
Drop the first digit to the left the answer is 2 1 4 9.This is the answer.
Therefore 4 5 2 9 - 2 3 8 0 = 2 1 4 9.
Example #3
4 5 8 2 7 - 3 9 8.
Arrange this as , 4 5 8 2 7 - 0 0 3 9 8.
Applying Nikhilam to the subtrahend
9-0 9-0 9-3 9-9 10-8
9 9 6 0 2
The Subtrahend will be 9 9 6 0 2.
Add 9 9 6 0 2 to the minuend.
4 5 8 2 7 + 9 9 6 0 2 = 1 4 5 4 2 9.
Drop the first digit to the left, the answer is 4 5 4 2 9.
Therefore 4 5 8 2 7 - 3 9 8 = 4 5 4 2 9.
IF MINUEND IS GREATER THAN SUBTRAHEND
Example #1
3 5 1 - 4 9 7
Apply Nikhilam to the minuend.
9-3 9-5 10-1
6 4 9
The result is 6 4 9
Add 6 4 9 to the subtrahend.
4 9 7 + 6 4 9 = 1 1 4 6.
Drop the first digit to the left the result is 1 4 6.
Therefore 3 51 - 4 9 7 = - 1 4 6.
ADVANTAGES.
• The method is easy to understand.
• No need of borrowing and carrying.
• It is a shortcut method.
• No frustration.
• Comfortable.

The Subtrahend will be 9 9 6 0 2.
Add 9 9 6 0 2 to the minuend.
4 5 8 2 7 + 9 9 6 0 2 = 1 4 5 4 2 9.
Drop the first digit to the left, the answer is 4 5 4 2 9.
Therefore 4 5 8 2 7 - 3 9 8 = 4 5 4 2 9.

9-3 9-5 10-1
6 4 9
The result is 6 4 9
Add 6 4 9 to the subtrahend.
4 9 7 + 6 4 9 = 1 1 4 6.
Drop the first digit to the left the result is 1 4 6.

Multiply Two Numbers Having Difference of Two
This is a quick way to multiply the numbers that differ by 2. It works best if the first number ends in 9.For example 19x21, 29x31, 39x41, 69x71…etc.
How to do it?
1. Find the middle integer.
2. Square of the middle integer.
3. Subtract 1 from the step2.
For Example,
Multiply 29 by 31.
Middle number is 30.
Square of 30 =900.
900 -1 = 899.
Another example
15 x 17.
Middle number is 16.
Answer to 15 x 17 = 162-1 = 255.

8! / 7! = 8
7! / 6! =7
6! / 5! =6
5! / 4! = 5
4! /3! = 4
3 ! / 2! = 3
2 !/ 1 ! = 2
1 ! /0 ! =1
Therefore 0! = 1.
9! / 8! = 9
8! / 7! = 8
7! / 6! =7
6! / 5! =6
5! / 4! = 5
4! /3! = 4

2 !/ 1 ! = 2
1 ! /0 ! =1
Therefore 0! = 1.
Pythagorean Triple
Mathematics students study the Pythagorean Theorem named after Pythagoras .Pythagoras was a great philosopher and a mathematician. A triple is three sides of a right angle triangle. His name is famous in mathematics due to his theorem. The Pythagorean theorem relates the length of hypotenuse of aright angled triangle to the lengths of the other two sides.
How to do this?
There are two situations, one is the number is odd and another is the number is even.
If you are given one number of a triple, you can construct two other numbers of the triple.
If the number is odd, follow the following steps.
- Take an odd number greater than 1.This is the first number of the triple.
- Square the odd number.
- Subtract 1and divide by 2, from the step 2.This will be the second number of the triple.
- Add 1 to the step 3.This will be the third number of the triple.
Example:-
Suppose the first number of the triple is 3.
Square of 3 is 9.
According to the step3, by subtracting 1, and dividing by 2 we get (9-1)/2=4.
This will be the second number of the triple.
By adding 1, we get 4+1=5.This is the third number of the triple.
Hence, 3, 4, 5 is a Pythagorean triple.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If the number is even, follow the following steps.
- Take an even number greater than 2.This is the first triple number.
- Square the number.
- Divide by 4and subtract 1.This is the second number of the triple.
- Add 2 to the result of step 3.this will be the third number of the triple.
Example:-
Suppose the first number of the triple is 4.
Square of 4 is 16.
Divide it by4, and then subtract 1 we will get 3 .This is the second number of the triple.
Add 2 to the above result.3+2=5.This will be the third number of the triple.
Hence 4, 3, 5 is a Pythagorean triple.
Take more examples and find out the triples.

MULTIPLICATION OF SERIES OF NINE
Here series of NINE means 9, 99, 999, etc.
Take any digit number as a multiplicand. Multiplier should be the same number of digits of 9.
Example: - 327*999
327 is a multiplicand and multiplier is 999.Both is three digit numbers.
How to find the Multiplication above?
Step 1:- subtract 1 from the multiplicand. This is the first part of the answer. Here 327-1=326.
Step 2:- Take the compliment of the multiplicand. This is the second part of the answer. Here 1000-327=673.
Step 3:- To get an answer, write the result of step 2 after step 1 as 326673.
So the answer of 327*999 is 326673.
Another example: - 47585*99999
Step 1:- subtract 1 from 47585, which will be 47584.
Step 2:- complement of 47585 =100000-47585=52415.
Step3:- To find an answer, write 52415 after 47584.
So the answer of 47585*99999 is 5241547584.

Strange Squares
Some pairs of square numbers have a strange property .
For example, Take a pair of 144 and make reverse of it i.e. 441 .
144 is a square of 12 (12 *12 = 144)
441 is a square of 21 (21*21 = 441)
Here 12 and 21 are reverse numbers . and same with their square numbers (144 and 441) .
Another Example is , pair of 169 and 961 .
169 is a square of 13 (i.e. 13 * 13 = 169 )
961 is a square of 31 (i.e. 31 * 31 = 961 )
Here 13 and 31 are reverse numbers . and same with their square numbers (169 and 961) .
If you observe carefully , you will find only two numbers in two digits which has this combinations .
For three digit numbers , 112 and 211 is the combination .
Square of 112 ( i.e. 112 *112) is 12544
Square of 211 ( i.e. 211 *211) is 44521
Can you find any other pairs like this ?
