Sample Tricks
Preview of Maths Shortcut Tricks
Trick #1: Divisibility by 7 in 3 Seconds
Double the last digit and subtract it from the rest of the number. If the result is divisible by 7, so is the original number. Example: 343 -> 34 - (3x2) = 28, which is divisible by 7.
Trick #2: Calculate 15% of Any Number Instantly
Find 10% + 5% of the number. 10% = move decimal one place left. 5% = half of 10%. Example: 15% of 240 = 24 + 12 = 36.
Trick #3: Combined Work Days Formula
If A can do work in x days and B in y days, together they finish in xy/(x+y) days. For three workers: xyz/(xy+yz+zx) days.
Trick #4: Average Speed for Equal Distances
If a person travels equal distances at speeds a km/hr and b km/hr, average speed = 2ab/(a+b) km/hr. Never use (a+b)/2.
Trick #5: Square of Numbers Ending in 5
Multiply the first digit by (itself + 1), then append 25. Example: 65² = (6x7)25 = 4225. Works for any number ending in 5.
Trick #6: Multiply by 11 in One Step
Add adjacent digits and place between them. Example: 45 x 11 = 4 (4+5) 5 = 495. If sum exceeds 9, carry over to the left.
