Shortcut to find percentage of a number within seconds
|
| 21% of 250 |
| Step 1:21% can be split into 10%+10%+1% |
| Step 2:First we find 10% of 250 by shifting the decimal point to the left by one place we get,
10% of 250=25.0 |
| Step 3:Another 10% of 250 we get 10% of 250=25.0 |
| Step 4:Now we need to find 1% of 250 by shifting the decimal point to the left by 2 places.
We get, 1% of 250=2.50 |
| Step 5:Adding all the results we get, 10%+10%+1%=25+25+2.50=52.50 |

| Finding Squares of numbers near to 10's |
| To find the squares of numbers near numbers of which squares are known |
| 422 | Add 40+41 to 402 =1681 |
| 592 | Subtract 602-(60+59) =3481 |
| Finding Squares of any Two digit numbers |
| Let us find the Square of 372 | Let us find the Square of 542 |
| = 3*10(37+7)+72 | = 5*10(54+4)+42 |
| = 30(44)+49 | = 50(58)+16 |
| = 1320+49 | = 2900+16 |
| = 1369 | = 2916 |
| Finding Squares of any Three digit numbers |
| Let us find the Square of 7362 | Let us find the Square of 4562 |
| = 7*102(736+36)+ 3*10(36+6)+62 | = 4*102(456+56)+ 5*10(56+6)+62 |
| = 700(772)+30(42)+36 | = 400(512)+50(62)+36 |
| = 540400+1260+36 | = 204800+3100+36 |
| = 541696 | = 207936 |
| Finding Squares of any Four digit numbers |
| Let us find the Square of 87582 |
| = 8*103(8758+758)+ 7*102(758+58)+ 5*10(58+8)+82 |
| = 8000(9516)+700(816)+50(66)+64 |
| = 76128000+571200+3300+64 |
| = 76702564 |
