22 Amazing Math Hacks And Tricks That You Must Learn

1. All 1’s to a Numeric Palindrome:

1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121 
111 x 111 = 12321 
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321

111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321

2. Through 9 to 9 Through 1:

1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321

3. Sequential Input to All 1’s:

1 x 9 + 2 = 11
12 x 9 + 3 = 111
123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
123456789 x 9 + 10 = 1111111111

4. Multiply  63 X 11

63 x 11 = 693
Step 1 = 63 = 6 () 3
Step 2 = 6+3 = 9
Step 3= 6 (9) 3

5. Multiply 5 digit number with 11

13432 x 11 = 147752
Step 1 = 13432 = 1()2
Step 2 = 1+3 = 4
Step 3 = 3+4 = 7
Step 4 = 4+3 = 7
Step 5 = 3+2 = 5
Step 6 = 1(4775)2

6. Multiples of 9

Then list the numbers 0 to 9 down the paper and next to that then write the numbers 0 to 9 up the paper. It means you just have to write 0 to 9 in both ascending and descending order in parallel lines. You’ll see in the photo above that this will give you the answer for each multiplying factor x 9!

That’s the order of 9 tables! Look for yourself!

0 9
1 8
2 7
3 6
4 5
5 4
6 3
7 2
8 1
9 0

7. Easy way to find 97 square

97 x 97 = 9409
First digit 97 = 100 -3
Second digit 97 – 3 = 94
Now 3 x 3 = 9
Result = 9409

8. Easy fraction 

Step 1 = 1/7 + 1/6
Step 2 = (7 + 6) / (7 x 6)
Step 3 = 13/42

9 Turn complex multiplication into simple 

56 x 54 = 3024
Step 1 = 5 x (5 + 1) = 30
Step 2 = 6 x 4 = 24
Result = 3024

10. Without 8

11. Multiply by 15

34 x 15
Step1: Place one zero after the number = 340
Step 2: Find half of the number = 170
Step 3: Add both numbers = 340+170 = 510

12. Subtracting from 1000

1,000 – 648
Step 1 = 9 – 6 = 3
Step 2 = 9 – 4 = 5
Step 3= 10 – 8 = 2
Result = 352

13. Simple multiplication by 4

The trick here is to multiply your number by 2, and then multiply it by 2 again.

58 x 4 = (58 x 2) + (58 x 2) = 116 +116 = 232

14. Quick square calculation

This trick will help you find the square root of a two-digit number that ends with a five. Multiply the first digit by itself and add 1 to it. Then write 25. That’s it!
For example  – 35²
3 x (3 + 1) & 25 
3 x 4 & 25
12 & 25
1225

15. Sequential Inputs of 9

9 x 9 = 81
99 x 99 = 9801
999 x 999 = 998001
9999 x 9999 = 99980001
99999 x 99999 = 9999800001
999999 x 999999 = 999998000001
9999999 x 9999999 = 99999980000001
99999999 x 99999999 = 9999999800000001
999999999 x 999999999 = 999999998000000001

16. Sequential Inputs of 6

6 x 7 = 42
66 x 67 = 4422
666 x 667 = 444222
6666 x 6667 = 44442222
66666 x 66667 = 4444422222
666666 x 666667 = 444444222222
6666666 x 6666667 = 44444442222222

9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888

18. 37 multiplied by multiples of 3 

   37 x 3 =111
   37 x 6 =222
   37 x 9 =333
   37 x12 = 444
   37 x 15 = 555

   37 x 27 = 999

19. Quick multiplication 5

5887 x 5 = (5887/2) & 5 or 0
5887 x 5 = 2943.5 (fraction) & 5
5887 x 5 = 29,435

Divide a given number by 2. If the result is a whole number, add 0 at the end. If the result is not a whole number, ignore the decimal and just add 5 at the end.

20. Easy math trick to calculate tips

If you need to leave 15% of your order as tips at the restaurant, then here is a simple way to do it. First, find 10% of your sum (divide your sum by 10), and then add another half of the result. That’s your tip.

Say 15% of $25
(10% of $25) + (10% of $25)/2
Results = $2.50 + $1.25 = $3.75

21. Division by 5

Dividing large numbers by five is, in fact, pretty simple. All you need to do is multiply your number by 2 and then move the decimal point.

197 /5 = ?
Step 1 = 197 x 2 = 394
Step 2 = 39.4
Results = 39.4

22. How to remember pi value

Pi is 3.1415926 (remembered with the mnemonic “May I have a large container of coffee“). Note that the number of letters in each word is equal to the corresponding digit of pi.
