1 THE 11 TRICK!!
Multiplying any two digit number by 11:
Example: 36 x 11
1) Write the first and second digit of the two digit number on each end of the solution.
Example: 36 x 11 = 3 ___ 6
2) The middle digit of the solution will be the sum of the first and second digits of the two digit number.
Example: 3_(3+6)_6=396
This is true for any other two digit number being multiplied by 11
13 x 11 = 1_(1+3)_3
Ans. : 143
2 The same number multiplication:
When the numbers we are multiplying are separated by 2 (for example 7 and 5), then multiply the
number in the middle by itself and subtract one:
55 = 25 is just one bigger than 64 = 24
66 = 36 is just one bigger than 75 = 35
77 = 49 is just one bigger than 86 = 48
88 = 64 is just one bigger than 97 = 63
