Multiply 58 by 99
58 x 99 = (58-1)(100-58) = 57 42 = 5742
The formula can be very effectively applied in multiplication of numbers, which are nearer to bases
like 10, 100, 1000 i.e., to the powers of 10 .
The numbers taken can be either less or more than the base considered. The difference between the
number and the base is termed as deviation. Deviation may be positive or negative. Positive
deviation is written without the positive sign and the negative deviation, is written using a negative
sign. Now observe the following table.
Base deviation of 8 is 8 – 10 = -2
For the number 25, the last digit is 5 and the 'previous' digit is 2.
Hence, 'one more than the previous one', that is, 2+1=3. The Sutra, in this context, gives the
procedure ‘to multiply the previous digit 2 by one more than itself, that is, by 3'. It becomes the L.H.S
(left hand side) of the result, that is, 2 X 3 = 6. The R.H.S (right hand side) of the result is 5 2, that is,
25. Thus 252 = 2 X 3 / 25 = 625.
652= 6 X 7 / 25 = 4225;
Rule 2 :- The right hand side of the answer is the square of deficiency.
Rule 3 :- To find the left side of the answer subtract the deficiency from the number.
