Count Trick: For Example

The document provides tricks and methods for simplifying multiplication and division operations involving numbers that are multiples of 5, 4, 25, 8, 125 and hundreds. These include multiplying or dividing by 10 and dividing by 2 for operations involving 5, using repeated doubling for operations involving 4, and separating numbers into place values for squaring hundreds.

COUNT TRICK

1. Multiplication by 5
It's often more convenient instead of multiplying by 5 to multiply
first by 10 and then divide by 2.

For example:

137 x 5 = …
137 · 10 = 1370 / 2 = 685

2. Division by 5
Similarly, it's often more convenient instead to multiply first by 2
and then divide by 10.

For example:

1375 : 5 = …
1375 . 2 = 2750 / 10 = 275

3. Division/multiplication by 4
Replace either with a repeated operation by 2.

For example:

124 : 4 = …
124 / 2 = 62 / 2 = 31

124 x 4 = …
124 · 2 = 248 · 2 = 496

4. Division/multiplication by 25
Use operations with 4 instead.

For example:

3750 : 25 = …
3750 . 2 = 7500 . 2 = 15 000 / 100 = 150

37 x 25 = …
37 · 100 = 3700 / 2 = 1850 / 2 = 925

5. Division/multiplication by 8
Replace either with a repeated operation by 2.

For example:

124 x 8 = …
124 · 2 = 248 · 2 = 496 · 2 = 992

1240 : 8 = …
1240 : 2 = 620 : 2 = 310 : 2 = 155

6. Division/multiplication by 125
Use operations with 8 instead.

For example:

1625 : 125 = …
1625 . 2 = 3250 . 2 = 6500 . 2 = 13 000 / 1000 = 13

37 x 125 = …
37 · 1000 = 37 000 / 2 = 18 500 / 2 = 9250 / 2 = 4625

7. Quadrate of tens
Tens gives symbol “a” and ones gives symbol “b”.

Hundreds Tens Ones

a2 a2
2 a.b 2 a.b
b2 b2

For example:

132 = …  a=1 ; b=3

Hundreds Tens Ones

12 1
2 (1)(3) 6
32 9
Result 169

372 = …  a=3 ; b=7

Hundreds Tens Ones

32 9
2 (3)(7) 4 2
72 4 9
Sum 13 6 9
Result 1369

8. Quadrates of hundreds
Separate hundreds into two part, tens (first 2 numbers) and
ones (the last number)

For example:

1022 = …  a = 10 ; b=2

Ten
Thousands Hundreds Tens Ones
Thousands
102 1 0 0
2 (10)(2) 4 0
22 4
Sum 1 0 4 0 4
Result 10404

Good Luck !!
