I know this post is quite old, but I'm just discovering this forum (thankfully after only being 1 week into studying). I genuinely am surprised to see such great resources on here and I'm feeling more confident, even after just discovering gmatclub, that I'll get a good score.
I have a question about the downloadable sheet. I'm kind of confused with how it's ordered and why some of the items are included. Why are some fractions and some exponents on here, but others aren't? Is there a reason for these particular ones to be remembered? When a fraction or percentage is listed, should we be memorizing the decimal, percentage and fraction versions of each of them?
For the last three lines, why is it important to know the multiples of 12, 15 and 8 over other ones?

Though I agree that some useful staff is missing and presence of some other things is debatable. As for the percentages, it's good to know fractional as well as decimal representation of some of them.

Re: What arithmetic should I memorize? [#permalink]

One useful tip (from vedic maths) -
multiplying numbers close to 100 or 1000 or so on
e.g. multiply 97 * 98
Take the base as 100 as both numbers are close to 100
Step 1) First, we multiply the offsets 2 and 3
We get 6.
Since our base is 100, which has 2 zeros, the product of offsets must also have 2 digits. Hence we write 6 as 06 and these are our last 2 digits.
Step 2) Now substract one of the integers ( 97 or 98) from the peer number's offset i.e. 97 - 2 or 98 -3. Either will give you 95.
These are our first 2 digits.
So the answer is 9506.
Hope this helps.

What if u need to multiply 3 digits or 4 didgits by 11...the procedure is same as u mentioned but it would be done like below For 3 digits 133x11 --> 1 1+3 3+3 3=1463 And for 4 digits 1243x11 --> 1 1+2 2+4 4+3 3=13673 And for 5 digits 15453x11 --> 1 1+5 5+4 4+5 5+3 3=169983 and so on. you can plug other numbers in and check it out. Hope it helps! This is awesome 'AtifS' ......!!! Great time saving...

AtifS wrote: Guys! I just found another way of checking whether a number is divisible by 8 or not ( the rule is same but another approach or route ). It's for a number with more than two digits.
Let's take 1936
1) First of all check whether last two digits of the number are divisible by 4 or not.
For 1936, we do this way 36/4=9
2) If it is divisible by 4 then add the quotient to the 3rd last digit of the number and if the sum of them is divisible by 2 then the whole number is divisible by 8.
--> 9 (quotient)+ 9 ( 3rd digit from right)= 18, and -->18/2=9
So the whole number is divisible by 8.
Once you understand it and do a little practice, you'll find it easy and fast.
**You can try other numbers to see whether it is true or not
Hope it helps! Well,this can be directly seen whether last three digits of any no. are divisible by 8. EG : for same no : 1 936, 936/8=117 => 1936 is divisible by 8 Let's take another no 7 992, 992/8=124 => 7992 is divisible by 8. So,you're getting your answer in 1 step and I think you don't need to memorize a lot for it

Good one imk... Kudos man...! Hope it'll work out for all the relevant aspects for the series of even/odd Consecutive integers with Even no. of elements of course! Btw, if you know any other shortcuts, could you please come up with those & help the Club..!

Why do I have the feeling I am missing something really obvious? This is intended as a test - can you answer them right off the bat or quickly.... or are you wasting your time on these every day simple calculations. This was my personal list and it may be slightly different for you. Bunuel seems to have his own - I'd love to see it
