ABSTRACT:
“Veda” by means of “Store house of knowledge”. Vedic Mathematics has 16 sutras and 15 sub-sutras
or word formulae. These sutras are in words and very much useful in solving the problems. These sutras
here able to find that Vedic method significantly the “Role of Vedic Mathematics in driving optimal
solutions for real life problems. Vedic Mathematics is not only useful for arithmetic computations but also
helpful for solving problems related to other branches of Mathematics as Algebra, Trigonometry,
Geometry and Calculus etc. Vedic Mathematics are highly efficient when it comes to regular arithmetic like
subtraction, division, multiplication, additions, squares, square roots, cubes, cube roots, partial fractions,
derivatives, decimals, solving equations etc., and conversions like temperature, distance, kilos to pounds,
kilometers to meters etc. Vedic Mathematics not only helps in faster computations but also in determining
the right solutions to a problem.
The “Vedic Mathematics” is called so because of its origin from Vedas. To be more
specific it has originated from “Atharva Veda” the fourth Veda. “Atharva Veda” deals with branches
like Engineering, Mathematics, Sculpture, medicine, and all other sciences with we are today aware
of.
The Sanskrit word Veda is derived from the root Vid, meaning to know without limit. The
word Veda covers all Veda–Sakhas know to humanity. The Veda is a repository of all Knowledge,
Fathomless, ever revealing as it is delved deeper. Knowledge, Fathomless, ever revealing as it is
delved deeper. Vedic Mathematics, which simplifies arithmetic and algebraic operations, has
increasingly found acceptance the world over. Experts suggest that it could be a handy tool for those
who need to solve mathematical problems faster by the day. It is an ancient technique, which simplifies
multiplication, divisibility, complex numbers, squaring, cubing, square roots and cube roots. Even
recurring decimals and auxiliary fractions can be handled by Vedic mathematics. Vedic Mathematics

forms part of Jyotish Shastra which is one of the six parts of Vedangas. The Jyotish Shastra or
Astronomy is made up of three parts called Skandas. A Skanda means the big branch of a tree
shooting out of the trunk.
It is important to understand that (theoritically) the Vedic Mathematical Sutras and Upasutras were
developed to mentally execute cumbrous calculations for practical usage. Thus, they mostly deal with
special cases (like a number ending with 5, or a number close to a power of 10) based on the demand of
usage in the time-period that they were developed, and for practical need for measurements to aid
architectural constructions, and trading. This formulae, than some of the Sutras. Nevertheless, the
generic methods were overshadowed as corollaries, by specific rules which are case dependent, but in
tune with the need of the time-period that they were developed in. This section explains the application
of Vedic Mathematics in the context of current mathematical expectations. Accordingly, all rules within
the Vedic Mathematical structure is considered under a common umbrella of ‘Principles of Vedic
Mathematics’ – irrespective of them being a Sutra or an Upasutra. Our unbiased observations in
applying the principles Vedic Mathematics are as follows:
The principles that overshadow and outshine conventional methods, and even the rest of Vedic
Mathematics are:
Suddha(Purification): This is the primary and standard from of Vedic Mathematics that
involves addition and subtraction of two numbers: X and Y ; where X and Y are variables. The
addition takes place by using the traditional method based on the place values: Example:
The Sutras:
If the sum of two unit digits of the two numbers totals to 10 or ,unit digits integer endswith
5 and begins with the multiple of previous integer and one more than the integer.
Examples:
24 × 26 =?
= 6 24 = 624
Square of 25 =?
= 25 × 25
= 2 𝑥 3(first digit × one more than first digit)5×5(product of unit digit)
= 6 25
2. Nikhilam Navatascaravam Dasatah: ( All from 9 and the last from 10)
This Vedic Mathematical formula is for multiplication of any numbers near to less thanmultiple of 10.
Step 1: Subtract the numbers with their closest multiple of 10 and multiply the
results.
Step 2: Subtract the results with other numbers.
Step 3: Write the result of Step 2 in the beginning and result of Step 1 at the end.
Example:
99 ∗ 96 = ?
100 − 99 = 1 𝑎𝑛𝑑 100 − 96 = 4,1 × 4 = 04
99 − 4 𝑜𝑟 96 − 1 = 95, 95 𝑎𝑛𝑑 04
So, the answer is 9504
This Vedic Math formula is for multiplication of any two two-digit numbers,
Step 4: Multiply the first digit of both the number and put it at the most beginning.
Step 5: For the result, more than 2 or more digits, add the beginning digits to the beginning
numbers.
Example:
54 × 87 =?
4 × 7 = 28
(5 × 7) + (4 × 8) = 35 + 32 = 67
5 × 8 = 40
54 × 87 = 40|67|28 = 4698
Example:
3784 divided by 12.
Step 1: Write the negative of the last number of the divisor under the dividend.
i.e.,12 = (−2)
Step 2: Separate the last digit of the dividend from the rest to calculate the
remainder. 378 4
Step 3: Multiply the first digit with the above result i.e., -2. 3 × (−2)
Step 4: Add the second digit with the result and continue till the last.
378 4 = 3(7 − 6)8 4, = 31(8 − 2) 4 = 316(4 − 12) = 315(14 − 10)
Result: Quotient = 315 and Remainder = 4
5. Sunyam Samya Samuccaya:( When the sum is the same, the sum is zero)
This is related to equating with zero. For example, as x is common factor in the equation“14𝑥
+ 5𝑥 … … = 7𝑥 + 3𝑥 … . . ”, 𝑥 will equal to 0.
Example :
9(𝑥 + 3) = 4(𝑥 + 3)
According to the definition, Since 𝑥 + 3 is a common factor, 𝑥 + 3 = 0 that’s why, x =-3
Calculation with a simple algebraic method,
9𝑥 + 27 = 4𝑥 + 12
5𝑥 = −15
𝑥 = −3
6. Anurupye – Sunyamanyat: (If one is in ratio the other one is 0)
We use this Sutra in solving a special type of simultaneous simple equations in which the
coefficients of ‘one’ variable are in the same ratio to each other as the independent terms are to each
other. In such a context the Sutra says the other variable is zero from which we get two simple equations
in the first variable (already considered) and of course give the same value for the variable.
Example:
3𝑥 + 7𝑦 = 2,4𝑥 + 21𝑦 = 6
Observe that the y-coefficients are in the ratio 7 : 21 i.e., 1 : 3, which is same as the ratio of
independent terms i.e., 2 ∶ 6 𝑖. 𝑒. , 1 ∶ 3. Hence the other variable x = 0 and 7𝑦 = 2 or 21𝑦 = 6
gives 𝑦 = 2/7
7. Sankalana – Vyavakalanabhyam: (By addition and By subtraction)
In two general equation such as, 𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏𝑦 = 𝑝 and 𝑐𝑥 + 𝑑𝑦 = 𝑞, where x and y are unknown
values.
𝑥 = (𝑏𝑞 − 𝑝𝑑)/𝑏𝑐 − 𝑎𝑑) 𝑦 = (𝑐𝑝 − 𝑎𝑞)/(𝑏𝑐 − 𝑎𝑑)
Example:
3𝑥 + 2𝑦 = 4 𝑎𝑛𝑑 4𝑥 + 3𝑦 = 5
𝑥 = (10 − 12)/(8 − 9) = 2
𝑦 = (16 − 15)/(8 − 9) = −1
8. Puranapuranabhyam: ( By the completion or non-completion)
This is a method of completion of polynomials to find its factors.
Example:
𝑥3 + 9𝑥2 + 24𝑥 + 16 = 0
𝑖. 𝑒, 𝑥3 + 9𝑥2 = −24𝑥 − 16
We know that (x+3)³ = x³+9x²+27x+27 = 3x + 11 (Substituting above step).
i. 𝑒. (𝑥 + 3)³ = 3(𝑥 + 3) + 2 … (write 3𝑥 + 11 n terms of LHS so that we substitute aterm
by a single variable).
Put 𝑦 = 𝑥 + 3
So, 𝑦3 = 3𝑦 + 2
i.e., 𝑦3 − 3𝑦 − 2 = 0
Solving using the methods discussed (coefficient of odd power = coefficient of even
power)before.
We get (𝑦 + 1)² (𝑦 − 2) = 0, So, 𝑦 = −1 , 2, Hence, 𝑥 = −4, −1.
Step2: First digit is the subtraction of the number from the result of Step 1
Example:
Square of 19
= (9 − (10 − 9), (10 − 9) × (10 − 9) = 81
𝑖. 𝑒, (𝑥 + 3)3 = (𝑥 + 3)(2𝑥 − 7) − 2
𝑝𝑢𝑡 𝑦 = 𝑥 + 3
So,y³=y(2y+1)-2 Hence, x= -2, 4, 1, -1
For the quadratic equation, in order to verify the result, the product of the sum of the
coefficients of x in the factors is equal to the sum of the coefficients of x in the product.
Example:
(𝑥 + 3)(𝑥 + 2) = 𝑥2 + 5𝑥 + 6
(1 + 3)(1 + 2) = 1 + 5 + 6
12 = 12; thus verified.
14. Gunakasamuchyah: (The factors of the sum is equal to the sum of the factors)
For quadratic equation, the factor of the sum of the coefficients of ‘x’ in the product is equalto the
sum of the coefficients of ‘x’ in the factors.
By using Vedic Mathematics tricks we can easily calculate real life problems likeTemperature
Conversions, Distance Conversions, Adding Time etc.
Temperature Conversions:
This is a shortcut to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius and vice versa. Take 30 away from the
Fahrenheit, and then divide the answer by two.
Distance Conversions:
Kilometers to Miles:
This is a useful method for when travelling between imperial and metric countries and needto
know what kilometers to miles are.
80/8 = 10
Multiplied by 5 is 50 miles.
Another example 40 kilometers
40 / 8 = 5
5 𝑋 5 = 25 mile.
.2 Miles to Kilometers:
This is a useful method for when travelling between imperial and metric countries and needto
know what miles to kilometers are.
80/5 = 16
Multiplied by 8 is 128
128 kilometers.
Kilos to Pounds:
This is the shortcut method to convert Kilos to Pounds, and Vice Versa.
86 𝑋 2 = 1
To do this, just put a decimal point one place in from the right
172 / 10 = 17.2
Vinculum Process or Vinculum Numbers are the very basics of Vedic Mathematics.Vinculum
Numbers is concept used in Vedic Mathematics and are those numbers which have atleast 1 digit
which is negative (having bar over them). Also called as Bar Numbers.
Vinculum numbers are used especially whenever we have higher digits (6, 7, 8, 9) in a number
for carrying out Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, etc. Like any other number, Vinculum Number
is a hypothetical number used in Vedic Mathematics to make calculations faster.
Here 5 is a negative number & others are positive, so this number is a Vinculum Number.We
can simplify this number as
4335 = 4000 + 300 + 30 − 5 = 4325
Here the Vedic sutra “Nikhilam Navatascaramam Dashatsh” and “Ekadhikena Purvena” sutras
are used.
Step 1: Identify the digit from right hand side which is greater than 5.Here
the number is 6.
Step 2: Here we apply sutra “ All from 9 & last from 10”. As 6 is our last digit we subtractit
from 10. We get 4, write it as 4
Step 3: Now move towards left hand side but there is no digit that is greater than 5. (So, alfrom
9 is not applicable here.)
Step 4: Now we use “one more than previous”Here
previous number is 3, So 3 + 1 = 4. Answer:

44(40 − 4 = 36).
Adding Time:
This is the shortcut method to adding time by using Vedic maths application
Suddha(purification).
Example: Let’s add 1 hour 45 minutes and 4 hours 24 minutes.
Now, make both time values as numbers and add together
145 + 425 = 570
Now, increment 40
570 + 40 = 610
No matter what the hours and minutes are, just add 40 as a time constant to the sub total.
CONCLUSION:
Vedic Mathematics is the most significant and efficient mental mathematics system. As like
another branch of science and mathematics, this is also a pure science which gives the ability to solve
tedious and cumbersome arithmetic operations mentally and increase the accuracy of the result. This
project concludes that Vedic mathematics techniques/sutras significantly reduce the time required for
completing some basic mathematical calculations for real life problems. The Vedic Mathematics
techniques can reduce the burden and overhead of students in competitive examinations while solving
quantitative aptitude and reasoning problems. It is considered as one of the short cut method for
solving basic mathematical operations.
