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

Discovery of the closest asteroid by IIT Bombay students.

On  August 16 2020 ,  An asteroid sized 3 to 6 metres (10 to 20 feet) was found just 2950 km above the Earth's surface! The astonishing discovery was recorded by the students of IIT Bombay and Taiwan.   Helping make a discovery like this, so early in my research project, is beyond what I had ever imagined   -Sharma,  a third-year student of mechanical engineering at IIT-B. Named  2020QG,  the closest asteroid ever to be found near Earth without impacting it became an early success for the students. The discovers Kunal Deshmukh and Kritti Sharma and Chen-Yen Hsu at National Central University in Taiwan are a part of an international team seeking out Near-Earth Asteroids.          This is the first image of Asteroid 2020 QG, captured by Caltech's Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) after the asteroid's closest approach to Earth at a distance of 1,830 miles above the planet...

HTML & CSS by John Duckett: Review

If you are passionate about coding and web development, you might know that HTML & CSS are the initial and vital language. You might have a guide and introduction to it on our website. But the most famous one is a book by John Duckett. HTML & CSS by John Duckett  is an outstanding beginner book. Unlike other coding books, this one isinteractive and clean. Each page of the books has an elegant design. The teachings are present on the left side, and the code snippets on the right. You can also find the code source on  their website . It also has codes relevant to HTML5 and CSS3, which are the newest versions of the languages. It is my first coding book, and I am so grateful for that. John Duckett also wrote a Javascript & jQuery book , which is like a sequel for this one.  You can buy it on Amazon by clicking below!
