Amazing Math Tricks

234X234+1234-875=???
Trick! Trick!
The 7-11-13 trick!

 This trick makes you look like your brain is a mega fast calculator!
 Ask a friend to write down ANY three digit number such as 231 or
884. Ask them to multiply the number by
 x7
x 11
x 13
 ...but even if your friend has used a calculator, you will have
written down the answer ages ago! It's fiendish!
 THE SECRET: all you do is write out the starting number twice! So
231 will become 231231 and 884 will become 884884. You don't
believe it? Well try it on this calculator and see for yourself! You
work this calculator by clicking the mouse on the buttons. Go on,
put in ANY three digit number then x7 x11 x 13 and see what you
get!
The 3367 trick:

 This trick is similar to the 7-11-13 trick. It's

harder to do, but it looks far more miraculous!
 Get a friend to pick any 2 digit number e.g. 74
 x 3367
 To work out the final answer you have to
imagine the original number written out three
times e.g. 747474 then divide it by three.
249158
 This one takes practice, but unlike the others,
it's very hard to see how it's done!
The MISSING DIGIT trick!

 Here it is!
 Go and hide in a cupboard, or cover your eyes in some way so that you can't see what your
friend is writing.
 Ask a friend to secretly write down ANY number (at least four digits long). e.g. 78341
 Ask the friend to add up the digits... e.g. 7+8+3+4+1 = 23
 ... and then subtract the answer from the first number. e.g. 78341 - 23 = 78318
 Your friend then crosses out ONE digit from the answer. (It can be any digit except a zero)
e.g. 7x318
 Your friend then reads out what digits are left .e.g. 7-3-1-8
 Even though you haven't seen any numbers, you can say what the missing digit is! EIGHT
 THE SECRET
 This great trick relies on the power of 9.
 After your friend has added up the digits and subtracted them, the answer will ALWAYS
divide by 9. If a number divides by nine, then when you add the digits up, they will also
divide by 9. If you check our example 7+8+3+1+8 = 27 which does divide by nine.
 When your friend crosses a digit out, he then reads out the digits that are left. You add
them up. In the example we had 7+3+1+8 = 19
 All you do now is see what you have to add on to your answer to get the next number that
divides by nine! The next number to divide by 9 after 19 is 27. So you need to add on
EIGHT. This is the number that was crossed out!
Birthday Trick
 This math trick will determine your birthday. Just follow the steps with a calculator and press
equal after each step. Go ahead and try the trick without cheating! For a simple, online
JavaScript calculator, click on the calculator button.

 1. Add 18 to your birth month

 2. Multiply by 25
 3. Subtract 333
 4. Multiply by 8
 5. Subtract 554
 6. Divide by 2
 7. Add your birth date
 8. Multiply by 5
 9. Add 692
 10. Multiply by 20
 11. Add only the last two digits of your birth year
 12. Subtract 32940 to get your birthday!

 The answer's format is: month/day/year. For example, an answer of 123199 means that you
were born on December 31, 1999. If the answer is not right, you followed the directions
incorrectly or lied about your birthday.
The "24" Mystery!

 A Murderous Math fan called OBAID pointed out that if

you square ANY prime number bigger then 3, then
subtract 1, the answer always divides by 24! E.g. 112 =
121 then 121 - 1 = 120 and yes 120 does divide by 24.
 WHY?
 If you understand algebra, (and you've read
The Phantom X ) then you'll know that all prime
numbers can be written as (6n+1) or (6n-1).
 (6n+1)2 = 36n+12n+1. So (6n+1)2 -1 = 36n+12n. This
factories to 12n(3n+1). Either n or (3n+1) must be
even, therefore the whole expression must be divisible
by 24.
 (6n-1)2 = 36n-12n+1. So (6n-1)2 -1 = 36n-12n. This
factories to 12n(3n-1). Either n or (3n-1) must be even,
therefore the whole expression must be divisible by 24.
The Prime Number Trick

 Using prime numbers, you can amaze your friends with a prime prediction...
 Ask your friends to pick any prime number bigger than 5, but they must not tell
you what it is.
 Square it. (In other words multiply the prime number by itself.)
 Add 17
 Divide by 12

 Without knowing which prime number your friends picked, you can still tell them:
There will be a remainder of 6.
 For example, if you want to try the trick with the prime number 2801,
here's what to push:
 2801 * 2801 =
+ 17 =
/ 12 =
 ...and that's the answer! Now find a new prime number and try it.

Squaring a 2-digit number
beginning with 5

 Take a 2-digit number beginning with 5.

 Square the first digit.
 Add this number to the second number to find the first part of the answer.
 Square the second digit: this is the last part of the answer.
    Example:
 If the number is 58, multiply 5 × 5 = 25 (square the first digit).
 25 + 8 = 33 (25 plus second digit).
 The first part of the answer is 33   3 3 _ _
 8 × 8 = 64 (square second digit).
 The last part of the answer is 64    _ _ 6 4
 So 58 × 58 = 3364.
    See the pattern?
 For 53 × 53, multiply 5 × 5 = 25 (square the first digit).
 25 + 3 = 28 (25 plus second digit).
 The first part of the answer is 28   2 8 _ _
 3 × 3 = 9 (square second digit).
 The last part of the answer is 09    _ _ 0 9
 So 53 × 53 = 2809.
Squaring a 2-digit number
ending in 5

 Choose a 2-digit number ending in 5.

 Multiply the first digit by the next consecutive number.
 The product is the first two digits: XX _ _.
 The last part of the answer is always 25: _ _ 2 5.
    Example:
 If the number is 35, 3 × 4 = 12 (first digit
times next number). 1 2 _ _
 The last part of the answer is always 25: _ _ 2 5.
 So 35 × 35 = 1225.
    See the pattern?
 For 65 × 65, 6 × 7 = 42 (first digit
times next number): 4 2 _ _.
 The last part of the answer is always 25: _ _ 2 5.
 So 65 × 65 = 4225.
Squaring numbers made up
of sixes

 Choose a a number made up of sixes.

 The square is made up of:
 one fewer 4 than there are repeating 6's
 3
 same number of 5's as 4's
 6
    Example:
 If the number to be squared is 666
 The square of the number has:  4's (one less than digits
     in number)           4 4
 3                             3
 5's (same number as 4's)        5 5
 6                                   6
 So 666 × 3666333 = 443556.
    See the pattern?
 If the number to be squared is 66666
 The square of the number has:  4's (one less than digits
      in number)           4 4 4 4
 3                                 3
 5's (same number as 4's)            5 5 5 5
 6                                           6
 So 66666 × 66666 = 4444355556.
Multiply Up to 20X20 In Your
Head

 In just FIVE minutes you should learn to quickly multiply up to

20x20 in your head.  With this trick, you will be able to multiply any
two numbers from 11 to 19 in your head quickly, without the use of a
calculator. I will assume that you know your multiplication table
reasonably well up to 10x10.
 Try this:
 Take 15 x 13 for an example.
 Always place the larger number of the two on top in your mind.
 Then draw the shape of Africa mentally so it covers the 15 and the 3
from the 13 below. Those covered numbers are all you need.
 First add 15 + 3 = 18
 Add a zero behind it (multiply by 10) to get 180.
 Multiply the covered lower 3 x the single digit above it the "5" (3x5= 15)
 Add 180 + 15 = 195.
 That is It! Wasn't that easy? Practice it on paper first!
The 11 Rule

 You likely all know the 10 rule (to multiply by 10, just add a 0
behind the number) but do you know the 11 rule? It is as easy!
You should be able to do this one in you head for any two digit
number. Practice it on paper first! To multiply any two digit
number by 11:
 For this example we will use 54.
 Separate the two digits in you mind (5__4).
 Notice the hole between them!
 Add the 5 and the 4 together (5+4=9)
 Put the resulting 9 in the hole 594. That's it! 11 x 54=594
 The only thing tricky to remember is that if the result of the
addition is greater than 9, you only put the "ones" digit in the
hole and carry the "tens" digit from the addition. For example
11 x 57 ... 5__7 ... 5+7=12 ... put the 2 in the hole and add the 1
from the 12 to the 5 in to get 6 for a result of 627 ... 11 x 57 =
627
Practice it on paper first!
Finger Math: 9X Rule

 To multiply by 9,try this:

(1) Spread your two hands out and place them on a
desk or table in front of you.
(2) To multiply by 3, fold down the 3rd finger from the
left. To multiply by 4, it would be the 4th finger and so
on.
(3) the answer is 27 ... READ it from the two fingers on
the left of the folded down finger and the 7 fingers on
the right of it.

This works for anything up to 9x10!

Multiplication Tricks
 Multiply by 11
 The eleven times table has always been very easy to learn up to 9 x 11.
Here's a simple way of multiplying large numbers by 11 too. Let's try.
 Write down the first digit.
Add the first and second digits. Write it.
Add the second and third digits. Write it.
Again and again do this.
Write down the last digit.
 Example 1 - 425 x 11
 First number = 4
4 + 2 = 6. 2 + 5 = 7
Last number = 5
The answer is 4675.
 Example 2 - 5890 x 11
 First number = 5.
5 + 8 = 13. Now we can't write 13. So, add 1 into 5. Then write down 3.
8 + 9 = 17. Again add 1 into 3. Now it is 4. After that write down 7.
9 + 0 = 9. Then write down last digit. It is 0.
Answer : 64790
