Multiplication with Number 11: Simple Warmup : Mental Math

Simple Warmup

Mental math needs practice. Some will be compelling. But don't worry. It will be like learning to ride a bicycle. Once you grasp it, it will never leaves you!

Multiplication with Number 11

Whenever you multiply a number with 11, you can see a pattern in the product. Let's see it with an example.

Multiply 53 with 11

  1. Write the unit digit of 53 (which is 3)
    3
  2. Now add 3 with the next number (here 5) and write it to the left of the answer got on Step 1
    83
  3. Add the left most digit (here 5) in front of
    583

Ta da!! Got it. 53 x 11 = 583

In other words, put a space between 53 and write the sum of them (5 + 3 = 8) between them. This is an easy way of thinking. But it will only work on 2 digits.

Multiply 12 with 11

  1. Write the unit digit of 12 (which is 2)
    2
  2. Now add 2 with the next number (here 1) and write it in front  of the answer you got on Step 1
    32
  3. Add the left most digit (here 1) in front of the answer.
    132

12 x 11 = 132

Multiply the following with 11

So what if the answer you get on Step 2 is a 2 digit number. Let's see with the following example.

Multiply 57 with 11

  1. Write the unit digit of 57 (which is 7)
    7
  2. Now add 7 with the next number (here 5) and write it in front  of the answer you got on Step 1. But you are getting 12 as the answer. So, write only the unit digit of 12 (which is 2) and keep the other (which is 1) in your mind.
    27
  3. Normally you'll write 5 here. But in this case you have 1 in your mind. So add 1 and 5 and write 6.
    627

57 x 11 = 627 

Multiply the following with 11

What about more than 2 digit? We continue this process

Solve 532 x 11

  1. Write the unit digit of 532 (which is 2)
    2
  2. Add 3 and 2 and write it down.
    52
  3. Add 3 and 5 and write it down 
    852
  4. Now write 5 (as it is the left most number)
    5852
532 x 11 = 5852

Multiply the following numbers with 11

RTX 3000 Series - The Game Changer

NVidia Geforce RTX 3080 The new RTX 3000 series announced yesterday live on YouTube. The CEO of NVidia, Jensen Huang, announced the features, release date and many more. Computer graphics have improved a lot since the start of computing. RTX 3000 series would be a game-changer in the GPU industries. Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia announced 3 RTX 3000 Series Graphics Cards - RTX 3070, RTX 3080, RTX 3090. This new-gen graphics card design with Ampere Architecture. RTX 2000 series uses Turing architecture and GTX 1000 series use Pascal architecture. Ampere Architecture is said to have better performances and features (1.9 times) than previous GPUs. It also has 28 billion transistors, having the world’s fastest Graphics speed (760GB/s) with 3rd gen Tensor cores. This time Nvidia has joined with Samsung to produce the 7nm processors.  The game Marbles with RTX enabled “ Ampere is the biggest generation leap we had ”  The pricing of the RTX 3000 series is low...

Brief History Of Time by Stephen Hawking: Review and Shop

Brief History of Time   by Stephen Hawking was the first physics book I finished. Stephen Hawking,  the renowned pop-star theoretical physicist, has done a great job in writing a book which can be read by average readers! Though it is a little old compared to today's science. I assure you that you will receive a lot of knowledge after reading the book. A book required for any science enthusiast. This is a small book, so you can finish in 2 days! I'm going to give an outline of the book. Don't worry, this won't be counted as spoilers. This is not a storybook! OUR PICTURE OF UNIVERSE Hawking travels through time to show us the mankind's interpretation of the world. From the earth standing on top of tortoises to flat-earthers to Copernican theory (The Earth is spherical). From static universe to an ever-expanding universe!  QUANTUM MECHANICS The well-known but not well-understood theory is the  Quantum Mechanics.  The book teaches us the Uncertainty principle and a...
