There are methods you can use to cement numbers into your memory. A good way is the mnemonic major system, which allows you to convert numbers to words. That way you can visualize them. For example, I might see 3021 as "Miss net", or a net with a pink bow on top (to show that it's a lady, or a "miss"). It's a silly image, but memorable. If I know the system well then I can convert it back to a number without difficulty.

Sometimes you can make other associations too. Like "31616", for example. I see 316 as the well-know bible verse "John 3:16", and then the 16 just repeats after that.

It only works if you get the remainder as zero after dividing the number by 2. For me, this works better, Divide by 2 and add a zero to your answer only if the remainder is zero. If it isn't, add a 5 to your answer before the decimals come in if that makes sense!

@julianmunoz6034 2 жыл бұрын
you can also split up the multiplier in your head so you don't have to carry as often, and then add the different totals. for example, instead of 423 * 4, you could do 423 * 2 = 846 to 846 *2=1692 , doing this while grouping bigger numbers together can really simplify everything.

When I was in second grade I was sick the day the class learned to do long multiplication. Our teacher gave us a multiplication question with a 12 digit number. It was the first time I had ever tried a multiplication problem like that. I did the whole thing in my head. This is exactly the method that I used. I just did it naturally. When our teacher went around the class she looked at my paper and asked if I could show the class how I did it. I of course had no idea how I did it so I said no, lol. But I can look back on that as being a defining moment in my relationship with mathematics. Missing that lesson on long multiplication (and many others simply due to attention deficit) was best possible outcome. For me, the best way to learn is and always has been to be presented with a challenging problem and use the rules to find my own way. If I can't find the solution, it's because I am missing a rule; but by finding it myself I cement it into my memory forever. Over the years I came up with an algorithm. If you break down a problem into 10's, 2's, 1's, multiplication of single-digit numbers and addition or subtraction it becomes simple. For instance, multiplying by 5 is simply multiplying by 10 and dividing by 2. Also, even numbers are easier than odd numbers.

That's weird, I've developed over the years, pretty much the same method of calculating in my head. I just tend to group and multiply the numbers that don't need anything carried over. For example when multiplying 21613 by 5, I would just begin by multiplying 21 by 5 to get 105, instead of 2 by 5 then 1 by 5, just cutting corners, if you will.. I also found that it's easier to multiply in my head, large numbers that are closer to the next hundred or thousand (100's and 1000's are obviously much more easy to multiply than most random given numbers) by multiplying the difference between the original number and the rounded number, by the multiplicand ... Then subtracting that product from the product of the rounded number and the multiplicand ... For instance if I wanted to multiply 19875 X 4 in my head, I would see that 19875 is 125 away from 20000 which is much more easily multiplied by 4, and would be 80000, and that difference of 125 multiplied by 4 is 500, which subtracted from 80000 would give you 79500, which is the product of 19875 X 4. It ends up coming in handy a lot when calculating in my head.

If you replace the multiplier 5 by 10 * 0.5, you can add a zero to multiply by 10, and then divide by 2 to multiply by 0.5. You can divide by 2 by grouping the dividend into even number groups and dividing individually, minding carry. Example 1: 5 * 21613 = 0.5 * (10 * 21613) = 0.5 * 216130 216_130 108_065 Above, instead of multiplying, we halve each group and combine the results to produce the answer: 108065 Example 2: 5 * 1933 = 0.5 * 19330 19_330 09_165 Here, for the sake of example, we have the odd number 19 to be divided by 2, the quotient being 9 with a remainder of 1: 2 * 9 = 18 19 - 18 = 1 You will never have a bigger remainder than 1 because we're dividing by 2 and every second number is even. In case we encounter odd dividends like this, we have to add the half of that remainder to the next number, which is the 1 in 330 / 2 = 165. This half is of course 5, which is 0.5 relative to the remainder (thousands), but 5.0 in the next position (hundreds). So 165 becomes 665: 19_330 09_165 09_665 5 * 1933 = 9665 Don't forget zeros when you construct the final answer. Example: 5 * 1262017253801896 = 0.5 * 12620172538018960 12620172538018960 12_620_172_538_018_960 06_310_086_269_009_480 ^ ^ ^ 5 * 1262017253801896 = 6310086269009480

+jl7986 That comes with practice. I like to split up or chunk the numbers in my head, by putting in commas just like I would on paper. I would look at 21613 x 5 as 21,613 x 5, and I'd work from left to right because that's how I read. 21 x 5 is 105 and 613 x 5 is 3065. But I've got to carry the "3" to the thousands place immediately to the left of the comma. I'd "see" the number as105,(3)065. I keep the three separate in parentheses so I automatically know to carry it to the left. 105,(3)065 = (105+3),065 = 108,065. This is known as "melding" numbers, and is covered in Ronald Doerfler's book, "Dead Reckoning: Calculating Without Instruments".

I get how to forward carry when the numbers equal low but what happens when your forward carry totals more than 10. Example 327,891 x 4. 3 x 4 = 12 (no need to forward carry as next one is a 2) so number is 12..... 2 x 4 = 8 (but need to forward carry as 7 next, 7 x 4 is 28....how do I carry forward 2 into the 8) do I have to jump one step back and make the original 12 a 13? Cheers Paul

I would always do my maths mentally because I found it easier and less time construction given the amount of class time we got to work each day, but one thing I ran into when multiplying numbers with more than 7 digits including decimals places is keeping track of the zeros and decimal places

When I was in proper practice of mathematics I could do a lot of calculus in my head. I once solved a practical design problem mentally in around two minutes, and then spent eighteen months working out the proof, although I did do other work too at the time. The company that was employing me at the time could not understand how it took me so long to do the proof,but most of them didn't understand how I was doing it anyway. A work colleague then tried to present my work as his own, but as maths is very closely related to magic he had an accident on the way to the institute where he was going to show the proof and died. Maths is a powerful thing, and should not be confused with arithmetic.

Ex. 3492*38 ---> 3492(30+8) --- distributive property ---> 3492(30)+3492(8). It's more unwieldy to store separate values in your head and then proceed to add them, though.

I think it's better to keep track of the trailing zeros the whole way, so as not to get confused. With 626 x 7, when you multiply 6 x 7 for the first digit, you really are multiplying 600 x 7. So you drop the two zeros, multiply 6 x 7, and add the two zeros back on to the end of the number. Now you have 4,200. Then multiply the middle digit (2) x 7, which is really 20 x 7, due to the "2" being in the tens column. Drop the zero and add it back on at the end of the multiplication. 2 x 7 = 14, and add the zero back. You get 140. Add 140 to the original 4,200, by adding from left to right. 4,200 + 100 is 4,300, + 40 is 4,340. Then add the final 6 x 7: there are no zeroes to drop. You have 42. 4,340 + 40 = 4,380 + 2 = 4,382.

You are making hard work of it mate, 31616 x4 = 4x3 = 12. 4x16 = 64 and the last 2 digits are 64. ans 126464. you multiply 2 numbers to avoid carries. 21613 x 5 x 2 = 10. 5 x 16 = 80. and 5 x 13 = 65 ans 108065.

Joss Cues You are right, but that's assuming you know off the top of your head that 16x4 is 64 (if you don't, you then have to pre multiple 16x4 in your head (while you are still thinking about the first part of the equation) and then get the answer to 16x4 = 64 while remembering the next part of the equation) (and you have to remember that number for the rest of the equation) and then you have to remember the next 3 equations you wrote out, this method works for EVERY SINGLE NUMBER you don't have to know anything except your basic multiplication (12x12), and the next number you are looking at.
