A quick way to square numbers that end in 5
75
2
= 5625
75
2
means 75 x 75.
The answer is in two parts: 56 and 25.
The last part is always 25.
The first part is the first number, 7, multiplied by the number "one more", which is
8:
so 7 x 8 = 56


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:

Find square of a number between 50 and 60
for example......
56
2
= 3136
57
2
= 3249
58
2
= 3364

2. there is a 2 steps trick to get the ans.
1) add the digit at the units place to 25 and write the sum
2) then calculate the square of units place digit and write it

eg in case of 56
2

we have 25+6=31
and square of 6 is 36
hence the result is 3136
Square of numbers in 100's

1. let the number be 108:
2. Square the last two digits (no carry): 8 × 8 = 64: _ _ _ 64
3. Add the last two digits to the number: 108 + 08= 116:
so 1 1 6 _ _
4. So 108 × 108 = 11664.
FIND SQUARE OF NUMBERS IN 200 TO 299
Steps to find square of numbers in 200's

1. let the number be 207:
2. The first digit is 4
so 4 _ _ _ _
3. The next two digits are 4 times the last digit:
4 × 7 = 28
so _ 2 8 _ _
Square the last digit: 7× 7 = 49
so _ _ _ 49
So finally we get 207 × 207 = 42849.

Example

1. If the number to be squared is 225:
2. Square last two digits (keep carry):
25x25 = 625 (keep 6): _ _ _ 2 5
3. 4 times the last two digits + carry:
4x25 = 100; 100+6 = 106 (keep 1): _ 0 6 _ _
4. Square the first digit + carry:
2x2 = 4; 4+1 = 5: 5 _ _ _ _
5. So 225 × 225 = 50625.

Ekadhikena Purvena or "By one more than the previous one"

3. 1. Square of numbers ending in 5
65 x 65 = (6 x (6+1) ) 25 = (6x7) 25 = 4225
45 x 45 = (4 x (4+1) ) 25 = (4x5) 25 = 2025
105 x 105 = (10 x (10+1) 25 = (10 x 11) 25 = 11025
** if the number is greater than 10 take the surplus

square of 12 is (12+2) (2x2) = 144
square of 13 is (13+3) (3x3) = 169

Finding Square of an adjacent number: One up
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? Some of you will say may be
and some of you will say may not be. But if I give you a formula then all of you will say, yes! it can be. What is
that formula…..
The formula is simple and the application is simpler.
Say you know 60
2
= 3600
Then 61
2
will be given by the following
61
2
= 60
2
+ (60 + 61) = 3600 + 121 = 3721
or Say you know 25
2
= 625 then
26
2
= 625 + (25 + 26) = 676
Likewise, you can find out square of a number that is one less than the number whose square is known.
Let me show it by taking an example:
Say you know 60
2
= 3600
Then 59
2
will be given by the following
59
2
= 60
2
- (60 + 59) = 3600 - 119 = 3481
or Say you know 25
2
= 625 then
24
2
= 625 - (25 + 24) = 576
Apply it to find square of a digit, which is one, less than the square of known digit. This works very well for
the complete range of numbers.
Comparison Between Vedic and Conventional System
( indu thakur)

4. The sutra "vertically and crosswise" is often used in long multiplication. Suppose we wish to
multiply
32 by 44. We multiply vertically 2x4=8.
Then we multiply crosswise and add the two results: 3x4+4x2=20, so put down 0 and carry 2.
Finally we multiply vertically 3x4=12 and add the carried 2 =14. Result: 1,408.
for example, 96 by 92. 96 is 4 below the base and 92 is 8 below.
We can cross-subtract either way: 96-8=88 or 92-4=88. This is the first part of the answer and
multiplying the "differences" vertically 4x8=32 gives the second part of the answer.


The above problem has been done using Criss-cross technique of Vedic Mathematics.

Use the formula ALL FROM 9 AND THE LAST FROM 10 to perform instant
subtractions.
For example 1000 - 357 = 643

We simply take each figure in 357 from 9 and the last figure from 10.
So the answer is 1000 - 357 = 643
And thats all there is to it!
This always works for subtractions from numbers consisting of a 1 followed by noughts: 100;
1000; 10,000 etc.
Similarly 10,000 - 1049 = 8951

5. For 1000 - 83, in which we have more zeros than figures in the numbers being subtracted, we
simply suppose 83 is 083.
So 1000 - 83 becomes 1000 - 083 = 917
The easy way to add and subtract fractions.
Use VERTICALLY AND CROSSWISE to write the answer straight down!

Multiply crosswise and add to get the top of the answer:
2 x 5 = 10 and 1 x 3 = 3. Then 10 + 3 = 13.
The bottom of the fraction is just 3 x 5 = 15.
You multiply the bottom number together.

Subtracting is just as easy: multiply crosswise as before, but the subtract:

1 divided by 19, 29, 39,..............
Consider 1/19 since 19 is not divisible by 2 or 5 it is a purely a recurring decimal
take last digit 1
multiply this with 1+1 (one more) i.e 2 (this is the key digit) ==>21
multiply 2 by 2 ==> 421 multiplying 4 by 2 ==> 8421
multiply 8 by 2 ==> 68421 carry 1
multiply 6 by 2 =12 + carry 1= 13 ==> 368421 carry 1
continuing (till 18 digits =denominator-numerator)
the result is 0.052631578947368421
1/19 using divisions
divide 1 by 2, answer is 0 with remainder 1 ==> .0
next 10 divided by 2 is 5 ==> .05
next 5 divided by 2 is 2 remainder 1 ==> 0.052
next 12 (remainder 2) divided by 2 is 6 ==> 0.0526
next 6 divided by 2 is 3 ==> 0.05263
next 3 divided by 2 is 1 remainder 1 ==> 0.052631
next 11 divided by 2 is 5 remainder 1 ==> 0.0526315
and so on...

6. 1/7 = 7/49 previous digit is 4 so multiply by 4+1 i.e. by 5
7-> 57 -> 857 -> 42857 -> 0.142857 (stop after 7-1= 6 digits)


Method for diving by 9.
23 / 9 = 2 remainder 5
The first figure of 23 is 2, and this is the answer.
The remainder is just 2 and 3 added up!
43 / 9 = 4 remainder 7
The first figure 4 is the answer
and 4 + 3 = 7 is the remainder - could it be easier?

134 / 9 = 14 remainder 8
The answer consists of 1,4 and 8.
1 is just the first figure of 134.
4 is the total of the first two figures 1+ 3 = 4,
and 8 is the total of all three figures 1+ 3 + 4 = 8.

Vulgar fractions whose denominators are numbers ending in NINE :
We now take examples of 1 / a9, where a = 1, 2, -----, 9. In the conversion of such
vulgar fractions into recurring decimals, Ekadhika process can be effectively used
both in division and multiplication.
a) Division Method : Value of 1 / 19.
The numbers of decimal places before repetition is the difference of numerator and
denominator, i.e.,, 19 -1=18 places.
For the denominator 19, the purva (previous) is 1.
Step. 1 : Divide numerator 1 by 20.
i.e.,, 1 / 20 = 0.1 / 2 = .10 ( 0 times, 1 remainder)
Step. 2 : Divide 10 by 2

7. i.e.,, 0.005( 5 times, 0 remainder )
Step. 3 : Divide 5 by 2
i.e.,, 0.0512 ( 2 times, 1 remainder )
Step. 4 : Divide 12

i.e.,, 12 by 2
i.e.,, 0.0526 ( 6 times, No remainder )
Step. 5 : Divide 6 by 2
i.e.,, 0.05263 ( 3 times, No remainder )
Step. 6 : Divide 3 by 2
i.e.,, 0.0526311(1 time, 1 remainder )
Step. 7 : Divide 11 i.e.,, 11 by 2
i.e.,, 0.05263115 (5 times, 1 remainder )
Step. 8 : Divide 15 i.e.,, 15 by 2
i.e.,, 0.052631517 ( 7 times, 1 remainder )
Step. 9 : Divide 17 i.e.,, 17 by 2
i.e.,, 0.05263157 18 (8 times, 1 remainder )
Step. 10 : Divide 18

i.e.,, 18 by 2
i.e.,, 0.0526315789 (9 times, No remainder )
Step. 11 : Divide 9 by 2
i.e.,, 0.0526315789 14 (4 times, 1 remainder )
Step. 12 : Divide 14 i.e.,, 14 by 2
i.e.,, 0.052631578947 ( 7 times, No remainder )
Step. 13 : Divide 7 by 2
i.e.,, 0.05263157894713 ( 3 times, 1 remainder )

8. Step. 14 : Divide 13 i.e.,, 13 by 2
i.e.,, 0.052631578947316 ( 6 times, 1 remainder )
Step. 15 : Divide 16 i.e.,, 16 by 2
i.e.,, 0.052631578947368 (8 times, No remainder )
Step. 16 : Divide 8 by 2
i.e.,, 0.0526315789473684 ( 4 times, No remainder )
Step. 17 : Divide 4 by 2
i.e.,, 0.05263157894736842 ( 2 times, No remainder )
Step. 18 : Divide 2 by 2
i.e.,, 0.05263157 8947368421 ( 1 time, No remainder )
Now from step 19, i.e.,, dividing 1 by 2, Step 2 to Step. 18 repeats thus giving
0 __________________ . .
1 / 19 = 0.052631578947368421 or 0.052631578947368421
Note that we have completed the process of division only by using ‘2’. Nowhere
the division by 19 occurs.
b) Multiplication Method: Value of 1 / 19
First we recognize the last digit of the denominator of the type 1 / a9. Here the last
digit is 9.
For a fraction of the form in whose denominator 9 is the last digit, we take the case
of 1 / 19 as follows:
For 1 / 19, 'previous' of 19 is 1. And one more than of it is 1 + 1 = 2.
Therefore 2 is the multiplier for the conversion. We write the last digit in the
numerator as 1 and follow the steps leftwards.
Step. 1 : 1
Step. 2 : 21(multiply 1 by 2, put to left)
Step. 3 : 421(multiply 2 by 2, put to left)

9. Step. 4 : 8421(multiply 4 by 2, put to left)
Step. 5 : 168421

(multiply 8 by 2 =16,
1 carried over, 6 put to left)
Step. 6 : 1368421

( 6 X 2 =12,+1 [carry over]
= 13, 1 carried over, 3 put to left )
Step. 7 : 7368421 ( 3 X 2, = 6 +1 [Carryover]
= 7, put to left)
Step. 8 : 147368421 (as in the same process)
Step. 9 : 947368421 ( Do – continue to step 18)
Step. 10 : 18947368421
Step. 11 : 178947368421
Step. 12 : 1578947368421
Step. 13 : 11578947368421
Step. 14 : 31578947368421
Step. 15 : 631578947368421
Step. 16 : 12631578947368421
Step. 17 : 52631578947368421
Step. 18 : 1052631578947368421
Now from step 18 onwards the same numbers and order towards left continue.
Thus 1 / 19 = 0.052631578947368421
It is interesting to note that we have
i) not at all used division process
ii) instead of dividing 1 by 19 continuously, just multiplied 1 by 2 and continued
to multiply the resultant successively by 2.
Observations :

10. a) For any fraction of the form 1 / a9

i.e.,, in whose denominator 9 is the digit in
the units place and a is the set of remaining digits, the value of the fraction is in
recurring decimal form and the repeating block’s right most digit is 1.
b) Whatever may be a9, and the numerator, it is enough to follow the said
process with (a+1) either in division or in multiplication.
c) Starting from right most digit and counting from the right, we see ( in the
given example 1 / 19)
Sum of 1
st
digit + 10
th
digit = 1 + 8 = 9
Sum of 2
nd
digit + 11
th
digit = 2 + 7 = 9
- - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Sum of 9th digit + 18th digit = 9+ 0 = 9
From the above observations, we conclude that if we find first 9 digits,
further digits can be derived as complements of 9.

(i) Consider the division by divisors of more than one digit, and when the divisors are slightly
greater than powers of 10.
Example 1 : Divide 1225 by 12.
Step 1 : (From left to right ) write the Divisor leaving the first digit, write the other digit or
digits using negative (-) sign and place them below the divisor as shown.

12
-2
¯¯¯¯
Step 2 : Write down the dividend to the right. Set apart the last digit for the remainder.

i.e.,, 12 122 5
- 2

Step 3 : Write the 1st digit below the horizontal line drawn under the dividend. Multiply the
digit by –2, write the product below the 2nd digit and add.

i.e.,, 12 122 5
-2 -2
¯¯¯¯¯ ¯¯¯¯
10

Since 1 x –2 = -2 and 2 + (-2) = 0

11. Step 4 : We get second digits’ sum as ‘0’. Multiply the second digits’ sum thus obtained by –
2 and writes the product under 3rd digit and add.

12 122 5
- 2 -20
¯¯¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
102 5

Step 5 : Continue the process to the last digit.

i.e., 12 122 5
- 2 -20 -4
¯¯¯¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
102 1

Step 6: The sum of the last digit is the Remainder and the result to its left is Quotient.
Thus Q = 102 and R = 1
Example 2 : Divide 1697 by 14.

14 1 6 9 7
- 4 -4–8–4
¯¯¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
1 2 1 3

Q = 121, R = 3.
Example 3 : Divide 2598 by 123.

Note that the divisor has 3 digits. So we have to set up the last two digits of the dividend
for the remainder.

1 2 3 25 98 Step ( 1 ) & Step ( 2 )
-2-3
¯¯¯¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Now proceed the sequence of steps write –2 and –3 as follows :

1 2 3 2 5 9 8
-2-3 -4 -6
¯¯¯¯¯ -2–3
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
2 1 1 5

Since 2 X (-2, -3)= -4 , -6; 5 – 4 = 1
and (1 X (-2,-3); 9 – 6 – 2 = 1; 8 – 3 = 5.
Hence Q = 21 and R = 15.
Example 4 : Divide 239479 by 11213. The divisor has 5 digits. So the last 4 digits of the
dividend are to be set up for Remainder.

12. 1 1 2 1 3 2 3 9 4 7 9
-1-2-1-3 -2 -4-2-6 with 2
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ -1-2-1-3 with 1
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
2 1 4 0 0 6

Hence Q = 21, R = 4006.
Example 5 : Divide 13456 by 1123

1 1 2 3 1 3 4 5 6
-1–2–3 -1-2-3
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ -2-4 –6
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
1 2 0–2 0
Note that the remainder portion contains –20, i.e.,, a negative quantity. To over come this
situation, take 1 over from the quotient column, i.e.,, 1123 over to the right side, subtract the
remainder portion 20 to get the actual remainder.
Thus Q = 12 – 1 = 11, and R = 1123 - 20 = 1103.
Sutra : Yaavadunam Taavaduunikruthya vargam cha yogayet
Meaning : "Whatever the extent of its deficiency, lessen it further to that very extent;
and also set up the square of that deficiency".
This sutra is a corollary of the Nikhilam sutra.
1. Consider a simple example 9
2

Step 1 : Consider the nearest base (here 10).
Step 2 : As 9 has a deficiency of 1 (10 - 9 = 1), we should decrease it further by 1, and set
down our LHS of the Answer as '8'.
Step 3 : On the RHS put the square of the deficiency (here 1).
we get 9
2
= 81.
2. consider 102
1) Base is 100
2) Deficiency is '-2' (100 - 102 = -2)
Therefore we subtract '-2' from 102

13. 102 - (-2) = 104
This is our RHS
3) Our LHS now becomes (-2)
2
which is 4
Since the base is 100 we write it as '04', so that we get 102
2
= 10404
If we have multiples or sub multiples of a base, we employ the same technique as in
'Aanurupyena'. (See Nikhilam Multiplication)
3. Consider 28
2

1) Let 20 be the Working Base and 10 as the Main Base.
Therefore x = (Main Base)/(Working Base) = 10/20 = 1/2
2) Here the deficiency = 20 - 28 = -8
Therefore RHS = 28 - (-8) = 36
Divide by x i.e. by (1/2).
We get 36/(1/2) = 72. This is the required RHS.
3) LHS = (-8)
2
= 64
Since Main Base is 10, we put only '4' on the LHS and carry over '6' to the RHS
Therefore we get
28
2
= 72+6 | 4 == 784
Compute: 8 x 7
8 is 2 below 10 and 7 is 3 below 10.
You subtract crosswise 8-3 or 7 - 2 to get 5,
the first figure of the answer.
And you multiply vertically: 2 x 3 to get 6,
the last figure of the answer
The answer is 56.
Multiply 88 by 98
Both 88 and 98 are close to 100.
88 is 12 below 100 and 98 is 2 below 100
As before the 86 comes from

14. subtracting crosswise: 88 - 2 = 86
(or 98 - 12 = 86: you can subtract
either way, you will always get
the same answer).
And the 24 in the answer is
just 12 x 2: you multiply vertically.
So 88 x 98 = 8624
Multiply 103 x 104 = 10712
The answer is in two parts: 107 and 12,
107 is just 103 + 4 (or 104 + 3),
and 12 is just 3 x 4.

The Sutra Ekanyunena purvena comes as a Sub-sutra to Nikhilam which gives
the meaning 'One less than the previous' or 'One less than the one before'.
1) The use of this sutra in case of multiplication by 9,99,999.. is as follows .

Method :
a) The left hand side digit (digits) is ( are) obtained by applying the ekanyunena purvena i.e. by
deduction 1 from the left side digit (digits) .
e.g. ( i ) 7 x 9; 7 – 1 = 6 ( L.H.S. digit )
b) The right hand side digit is the complement or difference between the multiplier and the left
hand side digit (digits) . i.e. 7 X 9 R.H.S is 9 - 6 = 3.

c) The two numbers give the answer; i.e. 7 X 9 = 63.
Example 1: 8 x 9 Step ( a ) gives 8 – 1 = 7 ( L.H.S. Digit )
Step ( b ) gives 9 – 7 = 2 ( R.H.S. Digit )
Step ( c ) gives the answer 72
Example 2: 15 x 99 Step ( a ) : 15 – 1 = 14
Step ( b ) : 99 – 14 = 85 ( or 100 – 15 )
Step ( c ) : 15 x 99 = 1485
Example 3: 24 x 99
Answer :

Example 4: 356 x 999 (indu thakur)

______

1755
195
_______
38025
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
(ii) By Ekadhikena purvena, since the number ends up in 5 we write the answer split up into
two parts.
The right side part is 5
2
where as the left side part 19 X (19+1) (Ekhadhikena)
Thus 195
2
= 19 X 20/5
2
= 380/25 = 38025
(iii) By Nikhilam Navatascaramam Dasatah; as the number is far from base 100, we combine
the sutra with the upa-sutra ‘anurupyena’ and proceed by taking working base 200.
a) Working Base = 200 = 2 X 100.
Now 195
2
= 195 X 195

(indu thakur)

16. iv) By the sutras "yavadunam tavadunikritya vargamca yojayet" and "anurupyena"
195
2
, base 200 treated as 2 X 100 deficit is 5.

‘antyayordasakepi’ is applicable. Further Ekadhikena Sutra is also applicable.
Thus

493 x 497 = 49 x 50 / 3x7
= 2450 / 21
= 245021

Shunyam Saamyasamuccaye or "When the samuccaya is the
same, that samuccaya is zero"
This sutra is useful in solution of several special types of equations that can be
solved visually. The word samuccaya has various meanings in different
applicatins.
1: It is a term which occurs as a common factor in all the terms concerned
Thus 12x + 3x = 4x + 5x x is common, hence x = 0
Or 9 (x+1) = 7 (x+1) here (x+1) is common; hence x +1= 0
2: Here Samuccaya means "the product of the independent terms"
Thus, (x +7) (x +9) = (x +3) (x +21)
Here 7 x9 = 3 x 21. Therefore x = 0
3: Samuccaya thirdly means the sum of the Denominators of two fractions having
the same numerical numerator
Thus, 1/(2x –1) + 1/(3x –1) = 0 Hence 5x – 2 =0 or x = 2/5
4: Here Samuccaya means combination (or TOTAL).
If the sum of the Numerators and the sum of the Denominators be the same, then
that sum = 0
(2x +9)/ (2x +7) = (2x +7)/ (2x +9)
N1 + N2 = D1 + D2 = 2x + 9 + 2x + 7 = 0

20. Hence 4x + 16 = 0 hence x = -4
Note: If there is a numerical factor in the algebraic sum, that factor should be
removed.
(3x +4)/ (6x +7) = (x +1)/ (2x +3)
Here N1 +N2 = 4x +5; D1 +D2 = 8x + 10; 4x +5 =0 x= -5/4
5: Here Samuccaya means TOTAL ie Addition & subtraction
Thus, (3x +4)/ (6x +7) = (5x +6)/ (2x +3)
Here N1+N2 = D1 + D2 = 8x + 10 =0 hence x = - 5/4
D1 – D2 = N2 – N1 = 2x + 2 = 0 x = -1
6: Here Samuccaya means TOTAL; used in Harder equations
Thus, 1/ (x-7) + 1/(x-9) = 1/(x-6) + 1/(x-10)
Vedic Sutra says, (other elements being equal), the sum-total of the denominators
on LHS and the total on the RHS are the same, then the total is zero.
Here, D1 + D2 = D3 + D4 = 2x-16 =0 hence x = 8
Examples 1/(x+7) + 1/(x+9) = 1/(x+6) + 1/(x+10) x = - 8
1/(x-7) + 1(x+9) = 1/(x+11) + 1/(x-9) x = - 1
1/(x-8) + 1/(x-9) = 1/(x-5) + 1/(x-12) x = 8-1/2
1/(x-b) - 1/(x-b-d) = 1/(x-c+d) - 1/(x-c) x = 1/2(b+c)

(Anurupye) Shunyamanyat or "If one is in ratio, the other one
is zero"
This sutra is often used to solve simultaneous simple equations which

21. may involve big numbers. But these equations in special cases can be
visually solved because of a certain ratio between the coefficients.
Consider the following example:
6x + 7y = 8
19x + 14y = 16
Here the ratio of coefficients of y is same as that of the constant terms.
Therefore, the "other" is zero, i.e., x = 0. Hence the solution of the
equations is x = 0 and y = 8/7.
This sutra is easily applicable to more general cases with any number
of variables. For instance
ax + by + cz = a
bx + cy + az = b
cx + ay + bz = c
which yields x = 1, y = 0, z = 0.
A corollary (upsutra) of this sutra says Sankalana-
Vyavakalanaabhyam or By addition and bysubtraction. It is applicable
in case of simultaneous linear equations where the x- and y-
coefficients are interchanged. For instance:
45x - 23y = 113
23x - 45y = 91
By addition: 68x - 68 y = 204 => 68(x-y) = 204 => x - y = 3
By subtraction: 22x + 22y = 22 => 22(x+y) = 22 => x + y = 1
Yaavadunam-"Whatever the extent of its deficiency"
1. Compute 13
3

Step 1 : Consider nearest base (here 10). Step 2 : As 13 has a excess of '3' (13 -
10 = 3), we double the excess and add the original number (13) to it, and put it on
the LHS. Therefore we get 13 + 6 = 19 Step 3 : Now find the new excess. In this
case it is 19-10 = 9. Now multiply this with the original excess to get the middle
part of the answer. Therefore we get 9 * 3 = 27 Step 4 : Now cube the original
excess and put it as the last part
Carry over any big numbers and total to get the answer.

As in 'Nikhilam' and Squaring, we use 'Aanurupyena' here.
1) Let the main base be 10 and the working base be 50
therefore the ratio
x = (Main Base)/(Working Base) = 10/50 = 1/5
2) Excess is -3 (47 - 50 = -3). Double the excess and add the original number
(here 47) to it.
We get 47 - 6 = 41.
The Base correction for this part is achieved by dividing by x
2
.
therefore we get 41/(1/25) = 41 * 25 = 1025
3) Excess in the new uncorrected number (41 - 50 = -9) is multiplied by the
original excess(-3) to obtain the second part.
Therefore we get -9 * -3 = 27
The Base correction for this part is achieved by dividing by x .
therefore we get 27 * 5 = 135
4) The third part is obtained by cubing the excess.
(-3)

= -27
5) Carry over the extra numbers and total to obtain the final answer


1025 0 0

Therefore the final answer is 103823

23. Vyashtisamanstih- "Part and Whole"
Corollary : Lopanasthapanabhyam
It is very difficult to factorise the long quadratic (2x
2 + 6y
2 + 3z
2 + 7xy + 11yz + 7zx)
But "Lopana-Sthapana" removes the difficulty. Eliminate z by putting z = 0.
Hence the given expression E = 2x
2 + 6y
2 + 7xy = (x+2y) (2x+3y)
Similarly, if y=0, then E = 2x
2 + 3z
2 + 7zx = (x+3z) (2x+z)
Hence E = (x+2y+3z) (2x+3y+z)
Factorise 2x2 + 2y2 + 5xy + 2x- 5y –12 = (x+3) (2x-4) and (2y+3) (y-
4)
Hence, E = (x+2y+3) (2x+y-4)
Sopaantyadvayamantyam- "The ultimate and twice the
penultimate"
Corollary : Gunitasamuccayah Samuccayagunitah -"The product of the sum of
the coefficients in the factors is equal to the sum of the coefficients in the product"

Sc of the product = Product of the Sc in the factors
For example (x+7) (x+9) = (x
2 + 16x + 63)
(1+7) (1+9) = (1 + 16 + 63) = 80
or (x+1) (x+2) (x+3) = (x
3 + 6X
2 + 11x + 6)
(1+1) (1+2) (1+3) = (1 + 6 + 11 + 6) = 24
Ekanyunena Purvena-"By one less than the previous one"
777 multiplied by 999 = 776,223
(776 is one less than multiplicand 777 and 223 is the compliment of 776 from 9)
120 35 79 multiplied by 999 99 99 = 120 35 78, 879 64 21
1234 5678 09 multiplied 9999 9999 99 = 1234 5678 08 8765 4321 91

24. The Ekanyunena sutra can be used to derive the following results:
Kevalaih Saptakam Gunyaat, or in the case of seven the multiplicand
should be 143
Kalau Kshudasasaih, or in the case of 13 the multiplicand should be
077
Kamse Kshaamadaaha-khalairmalaih, or in the case of 17 the
multiplicand should be 05882353 (by the way, the literal meaning of
this result is "In king Kamsa's reign famine, and unhygenic
conditions prevailed." -- not immediately obvious what it had to do
with Mathematics. These multiple meanings of these sutras were one
of the reasons why some of the early translations of Vedas missed
discourses on vedaangas.)
These are used to correctly identify first half of a recurring decimal number, and then
applying Ekanyuna to arrive at the complete answer mechanically. Consider for example
the following visual computations:
1/7 = 143x999/999999 = 142857/999999 = 0.142857

1/13 = 077x999/999999 = 076923/999999 = 0.076923

1/17 = 05882353x99999999/9999999999999999 = 0.05882352 94117647

Note that
7x142857 = 999999

13x076923 = 999999

17x05882352 94117647 = 9999999999999999

which says that if the last digit of the denominator is 7 or 3 then the last digit of the
equivalent decimal fraction is 7 or 3 respectively.

29 * 5 = 145

29 * 6 = 174
