SHORTCUT FOR MULTIPLICATION OF11

SHORTCUT FOR MULTIPLICATION OF11

Consider 11 x 35

Take 35 and separate the digits

Add 3+5. Put the 8 in between 3&5.

We get 385

Therefore 11x35=385

……………………………….

If the number being multiplied has digits that add up to more then 9, you simply carry over to the first digit. For example:

Consider 11 x 57

Take 57 and separate the number

Add 5&7=12

add 1 to the first digit 5, it gives 6.

and put the 2 in the middle. You end up with 627

Therefore 11x57=627.
