LET’S GET STARTED
Vedic Maths Sutra 1: Finding the Square of Numbers Ending With 5 (Ekadhikena Purvena Sutra )

This tip is among the top Math tricks every student must know. Let us take an example. Imagine you
need to find the answer to this: (25) ² =?

For this, here are the steps:

Step 1: 25 x 25 = __25 (the answer will always end with 25)

Step 2: Now, you need to multiply the first digit of the two-digit number by (the first digit+1) to find
the term for the blank. In this case, it is 2x (2+1). The answer to this is 6.

Hence the answer to (25) ² = 625.

Easy isn’t it? Now, try finding the square of 55 and 75.
Vedic Math Sutra 2: Multiplying Any Number by Five

For this tip, you need to consider if the number is even or odd. Once you determine this, do the following:
For Even Numbers
2244 x 5 =?
Step 1: Divide the number by two. This makes 2244 / 2 = 1122
Step 2: Add a zero to the calculation above, and you will get the answer: 11220.
Thus, 2244 x 5 = 11220

For Odd Numbers

2245 x 5 =?
Step 1: For this, follow the formula: (Number – 1) / 2.
(2245 – 1)/2 = 1122
Step 2: Now, instead of zero, you need to put five at the end, and you will get the answer 11225. Thus,
2245 x 5 = 11225

Now that you know these Vedic Maths tricks, try finding the answer to 1356 x 5 and 455 x 5 using the
same.
Vedic Math Sutra 3: Subtracting Anything from 1000, 10000, or 100000
If you are weak in calculations and want to know how to calculate fast in mind,
this tip is for you. An example for this will be:
1000 – 423 =?
For this Vedic Math tricks, subtract the first two digits in the number 423 from
the nine and the last from ten. The steps will be as follows:
Step 1: 9 – 4 = 5
Step 2: 9 – 2 = 7
Step 3: 10 – 3 = 7
Now, simply write all the answers in each step together, and you get your final
answer, 577.
Thus, 1000 – 423 = 577.
Now, use the same tip to solve the following:
1000 – 346 =?
10,000 – 1087 =?
1000 – 827 =?
10,000 – 1579 =?
Vedic Math Sutra 4: Multiplying Any Two-Digit Numbers Between 11 to 19
For students who are searching for Vedic Maths Tricks for competitive exams, this tip is super-useful.
The example we will take for this is: 12 x 15 =?
Step 1: Firstly, you need to add the unit digit of the smaller number to the larger one. It means 15 + 2 =
17.
Step 2: Now, take the above result and multiply it by 10.
17 x 10 = 170
Step 3: After this, take the unit digits of both the numbers in the question and multiply them.
Here, this would be:
2 x 5 = 10
Step 4: Lastly, add the result in steps 2 and 3. With this, you get the answer: 170 + 10 = 180.
Thus, 12 x 15 = 180
Now, use Vedic maths tricks to solve the following: 19 x 18 =?
Vedic Math Sutra 5: Dividing A Large Number by Five
Let us take the following example: 245 / 5 =?
To solve this, follow these steps:
Step 1: Multiply the number to be divided by two.
Here, 245 x 2 = 490
Step 2: Now, you need to move the decimal point to the left, and you have the answer. This makes it
49.0 or just 49.
Thus, 245 / 5 = 49.
If you understand this method, try solving 3349 / 2.
Vedic Math Sutra 6: Multiplying A Two-digit Number by
Eleven
Let us explain this by solving what is 32 x 11?
For this, simply place the two-digit number according to
this formula and add the center part:
Answer = (First digit of the number (First digit of the
number + second digit of the number) First digit of the
number)
Thus, this makes it: 32 x 11 = 3 (3+2) 2.
The answer you will get here is 352.
◦ Vedic Math Tip 7: Multiplying Three-digit Numbers
◦ Let us say you want to find the answer to 306 x 308 =? For this, do the following:
◦ Step 1: Start with subtracting the unit place digit from the actual numbers.
◦ Thus, 308 – 8 = 300 and 306 – 6 = 300.
◦ Step 2: Now, choose any number out of the two and add it to the unit digit of the other number. If we
take 308, this will be 308 + 6 = 314.
◦ Step 3: Then, multiply the results of steps 1 and 2, and you will get 314 × 300 = 94200.
◦ Step 4: After this, calculate the product of the unit digits of both the numbers. Here, 8 × 6 = 48.
◦ Step 5: Lastly, add the results of steps 3 and 4 to get the answer. Here, 94200 + 48 = 94248.
◦ Thus, 306 x 308 = 94248.
◦ Vedic Math Tip 8: Finding the Square Value of a Number
◦ Let us suppose you need an answer for (99)² =?
◦ For this, the steps are:
◦ Step 1: Firstly, you need a base closer to the number in the question. Here, it can be 100.
◦ Step 2: Now, calculate the difference of the number from the base. It means 99 – 100 = -1.
◦ Step 3: After this, add this difference to the number. Here, 99 + (-1) = 98.
◦ Step 4: Then, multiply the result you get above with the base: 98 x 100 = 9800
◦ Step 5: Lastly, add the product of the square of the difference with the result in step 4 to get the final
answer. Here, 9800 + (-1) ² = 9801.
◦ Thus, (99) ² = 9801.
Importance of Vedic mathematics
Vedic mathematics is now a popular term among students prepapring for competitive exams like CAT ,
Olympiads , Engineering , etc . Vedic mathematics has scaled heights since it’s inception . It is being
taught in some of the most prestigious institutions of England , Australia and America . NASA scientists
are said to have applied it’s principles in field of artificial intelligence .
The importance of Vedic mathematics can be understood from the fact that it has been adopted in state
curriculum of secondary board in Rajasthan , Gujarat and Maharashtra . Moreover , medical science has
proved that Vedic mathematics keeps both sides of our mind fit .In today’s cut-throat competition , where
time is the only restraint , we need to train our brain in such a way that it is able to do fast calculations in a
fraction of second , that too without using pen or pencil . This purpose is met by using the sutras of Vedic
mathematics .
Inspite of this , most of us don’t even know about it . How would we ? The world describes the methods
of the west as best and standard . Common everyone , let’s not forget the legacy of our glorious past . Let
us not only apply the sutras of Vedic mathematics , but also take pride in using them .
Why Vedic Mathematics has lost it Importance ?
There is a great deal of competition in the market to prove each book better than the other . The
numerous techniques and their attractive names can be seen everywhere and in such a race , the
essence of vedic mathematics is lost . Vedic mathematics never needed any Promotion because it has
it’s glory has it’s own flame . These days , most of the books available on vedic mathematics deal only
with fundamental operations , ignoring higher algebra and other branches of mathematics . Therefore ,
most people think that vedic mathematics is limited to only multiplication , division a, addition and
subtraction . But the truth is that it does so much more . Vedic mathematics is equally effective at
dealing with higher algebra , trigonometry , basic calculus , co-ordinate geometry , etc .
 Conclusion
Vedic mathematics is , thus , is very useful to help the students excel in mathematics. The sutras
of Vedic mathematics help students to compete in competitive exams in a given time frame .
The old mathematical techniques followed by schools is far short than the efficiency and
accuracy of Vedic mathematics’ sutras . The fear of mathematics can be removed if the
principles of Vedic mathematics are taught to students from primary level .
