There we applied the "the Urdhva Tiryak Sutra"
(meaning : Vertically and cross-wise) to perform
multiplication of three digit numbers mentally,
easily and speedily.
Here, we extend the method to perform
multiplication of four digit numbers.
There and Here we deal with the principles
appled to Multiplication. For the application
to other topics of math magic, go to Vedic Maths eBook.
for more details, see
near the bottom of the page.
Multiply vertically and crosswise
to get the digits of the product.
Examples will clarify the method.
Before seeing the examples, let us see
the formula for finding the product of
four digit numbers.
Let us say the four digits of the first number be
'a'(Thousands' digit) and 'b'(Hundreds' digit),
'c'(tens' digit) and 'd'(units' digit).
And those of the second number be
'p'(Thousands' digit) and 'q'(Hundreds' digit),
'r'(tens' digit) and 's'(units' digit).
Write the digits of the two numbers
one below the other as follows.
a b c d
p q r s
The product of these numbers has seven parts
which are given below seperated by '/'.
a b c d
p q r s
-----------
ap/(aq+pb)/(ar+pc+bq)/(as+pd+br+qc)/(bs+qd+cr)/(cs+rd)/ds
-----------
'ap' is the millions part which is the
vertical product of the first column.
(aq+pb) is the hundred thousands' part
which is the sum
of the cross-wise
product of the first and third columns.
(ar+pc+bq) is the ten thousands' part which is the
sum of the cross-wise product of the first and third
columns and the vertical product of
the second column.
(as+pd+br+qc) is the Thousands' part which
is the sum of the cross-wise products of
first and last columns and the cross-wise
products of second and third columns.
(bs+qd+cr) is the Hundreds' part which is
the sum of the cross-wise products
of second and last columns and the vertical
product of third column.
(cs+rd) is the Tens' part which is the sum of
the cross-wise products of the last two columns.
'ds' is the units' part which is
the vertical product of the last column.
Here, the seven parts are obtained as in previous
example. But some parts have more than one digit. In
such cases, units's digit is retained and the other
digits are carried over to the immediate left place.
We can do the first step mentally and write
the second step directly. Also, we can do the
carry over from right mentally and write it
as the next step as shown below.
4201
5130
----
20/14/14/11/1/3/0
= 21/5/5/1/1/3/0 (worked out from right)
4201x5130 = 21551130
We can do the process mentally and write
the answer in two steps as shown below.
1234
5678
----
5/16/34/60/61/52/32
=7/0/0/6/6/5/2 (worked out from right)
1234x5678 = 7006652
Thus 1234 x 5678 = 7,006,652
Example 4 of Math Magic
To find 3456 x 789
3456
0789
----
0/21/52/94/118/93/54
=2/7/2/6/7/8/4 (worked out from right)
3456x789 = 2726784
Thus, 3456 x 789 = 2,726,784
See the math magic of arriving
at the answer in two steps.
Example 5 of Math Magic
To find 9876 x 543
9876
0543
----
0/45/76/94/82/45/18
=5/3/6/2/6/6/8 (worked out from right)
9876x543 = 5362668
Thus, 9876 x 543 = 5,362,668

Progressive Learning of Math : Math Magic
Recently, I have found a series of math curricula (Both Hard Copy and Digital Copy) developed by a Lady Teacher who taught everyone from Pre-K students to doctoral students and who is a Ph.D. in Mathematics Education.
This series is very different and advantageous over many of the traditional books available. These give students tools that other books do not. Other books just give practice. These teach students “tricks” and new ways to think.
These build a student’s new knowledge of concepts from their existing knowledge. These provide many pages of practice that gradually increases in difficulty and provide constant review.
These also provide teachers and parents with lessons on how to work with the child on the concepts.
The series is low to reasonably priced and include
