Hi Everyone,
Although GMAT doesn't test your ability to perform complicated calculations, it would be beneficial to know some calculation tricks that would save you some time.
Trick 7: Rapidly Square Any Number Ending in 5
Multiply the tens digit by the next whole number then affix the number 25
\(65^2: 6*7=42 ==> 'affix' 25 ==> 4225\)
Trick 8: Rapidly Multiply Any Two-Digit Number by 11
Write the number leaving some space between the two digits, then insert the sum of the number's two digit in between.
24*11 ==> 2 ? 4 ==> 2+4=6 ==> 264
Trick 9: Rapidly Multiply by 25 (or 0.25, 2.5, 250, etc.)
Divide the number by 4 and affix or insert Zeroes or decimal points
Example: 28*25 ==> 28/4 = 7 ==> 700 (add 2 Zeroes)
Trick 10: Rapidly Divide by 25 (or 0.25, 2.5, 250, etc.)
Remove Zeroes or decimal points then multiply the number by 4
Example: 700/25 ==> 7/25 ==> 7*4=28
Trick 24: Rapidly Square Any Two-Digit Number ending in 1
\(21^2 \\
==> 20^2=400\\
==> Add: 20+21=41\\
==> Add: 400+41= 441\\
==> 21^2 = 441\)
Trick 59: Rapidly Multiply Any Three-Digit Number by 11 (advanced variation of trick 8)
Write the number leaving some space between the two digits, then insert the summations of the numbers in between (summations of 2 digits everytime; as shown below).
Example:
342*11=??
342*11= 3--2 (write the first & the last number "3"& "2")
342*11=3-62 (the sum of 4+2)
342*11=3762 (the sum of 3+4)
