Multiplication Tips and Tricks

To multiply Trick to do
by
1
2 Add the number to itself (example 29 = 9+9)
3
4
5 The last digit goes 5, 0, 5, and 0
Is half the number times 10 (Example: 5x6 = 10x3 = 30)
Is always half of 10 (Example: 5x6 = half of 10x6 = half of 60 = 30)
6 When you multiply 6 by an even number, they both end in the same digit
Example: 62=12, 64=24, 66=36, etc
7
8 Rather than counting on in 8's, why not add 10 and then subtract 2
If you have reached 2 8 is 16, add 10 to 16 to give 26, and then subtract 2 to give 24. So 3 8 = 24
9 The last digit goes 9, 8, 7, 6 ...
to multiply 9 by 8, hold your 8th finger down, and count "7" and "2", the answer is 72
Is 10 the number minus the number. Example: 96 = 1066 = 606 = 54
When you add the answer's digits together, you get 9
Example: 95=45 and 4+5=9. (But not with 911=99)
10 Put a zero after it
11 up to 9x11: just repeat the digit (Example: 4x11 = 44)
for 10x11 to 18x11: write the sum of the digits between the digits
Example: 15x11 = 1(1+5) 5 = 165
this works for any two-digit number, but when the sum of the digits is more than 9, we need to carry the one
Example: 75x11 = 7(7+5) 5 = 7( 1 2) 5 = 825
12 Is 10 plus 2

to multiply 9 by 8, hold your 8th finger down, and count "7" and "2", the answer is 72
