Question

How do I multiply when there is a decimal in the given operation? I have to be able to answer orally.

Community Answer

I would recommend ignoring it until the end. Once you find the product (not including the decimal point), go back and multiply what is after the decimal point by the second number. Then put this at the end of your original product (don't forget the decimal point!). This is basically using the Distributive Property. (This does not work if both factors contain decimal points.)

Question

What are some basic Vedic Math tricks?

Drew Hawkins1

Community Answer

They're not really "tricks" but more like strategies that help you break down large equations into smaller, more easily solvable pieces. For example, you can break down large numbers by subtracting them from round numbers like 1,000 or 10,000 to make them simpler, or you could divide a number by 5 to help break it down to solve it more easily. Vedic Math requires a lot of study to master, but once you do, you'll be able to mentally calculate complex equations very quickly.
