The 11 Times Trick



We all know the trick when multiplying by ten – add 0 to the end of the number, but did you know there is an equally easy trick for multiplying a two digit number by 11? This is it:

Take the original number and imagine a space between the two digits (in this example we will use 52:

5_2

Now add the two numbers together and put them in the middle:

5_(5+2)_2

That is it – you have the answer: 572.

If the numbers in the middle add up to a 2 digit number, just insert the second number and add 1 to the first:

9_(9+9)_9

(9+1)_8_9

10_8_9

1089 – It works every time.

Binary

In the binary system we count on our fists instead of on our fingers.

Do You Know - Perimeter

Among all shapes with the same perimeter a circle has the largest area.

(A perimeter is a path that surrounds an area)

Jokes : Multiplication symmetry


Teacher: "Who can tell me what 7 times 6 is?"
Student: "It's 42!"
Teacher: "Very good! - And who can tell me what 6 times 7 is?"
Same student: "It's 24!"

Quotes - Richard J. Trudeau

Pure mathematics is the world's best game.  It is more absorbing than chess, more of a gamble than poker, and lasts longer than Monopoly.  It's free.  It can be played anywhere - Archimedes did it in a bathtub.

- Richard J. Trudeau, Dots and Lines

Quotes 2 : Carl Sandburg

Arithmetic is where numbers fly like pigeons in and out of your head.
- Carl Sandburg

Quotes : Carl Sandburg

Arithmetic is where the answer is right and everything is nice and you can look out of the window and see the blue sky - or the answer is wrong and you have to start over and try again and see how it comes out this time
-Carl Sandburg


Quote : John Louis von Neumann


If people do not believe that mathematics is simple, it is only because they do not realize how complicated life is
-John Louis von Neumann
