15 Vedic Math Tricks to Solve Calculations 10x Faster

Vedic Math is a game-changer for competitive exams. These ancient Indian techniques can reduce complex calculations to mental math.

Multiplication Shortcuts

1. Multiplying by 11: For 72 x 11: Put 7_2, insert sum (7+2=9) in middle = 792. For carries: 87 x 11 = 8_(8+7)_7 = 8_15_7 = 957.

2. Squaring numbers ending in 5: 75² = 7×8 | 25 = 5625. 45² = 4×5 | 25 = 2025.

3. Base Method: For numbers near 100: 97 x 96 = (97-4)(96-3) cross: 97-4=93, 4×3=12 → 9312.

Percentage Shortcuts

4. Finding 15%: Calculate 10% + 5% (half of 10%). Example: 15% of 840 = 84 + 42 = 126.

5. Reverse Percentage: 37% of 50 = 50% of 37 = 18.5 (swap and simplify).
