Multiply by 3
Step
1. Divide first digit by 2 and remove all digits after point.
2. Minus all digits from 9 but unit digit from 10.
3. We find a new number.
4. Double each digit of new number and add half of next main number’s digit (Ignore Digit after point).
5. Add extra 5 if main digit is odd and 0 if even.
6. Carry forward answer’s digit before unit digit to next digit.
7. Minus 2 from first digit of finding.
E.g. 46357 x 3
Step
1. 4/2 = 2
2. 9 – 4, 9 – 6, 9 – 3, 9 – 5, 10 – 7 = 53643
3. 53643
4. (5 x 2) + 6/2, (3 x 2) + 3/2. (6 x 2) + 5/2, (4 x 2) + 7/2, (3 x 2) + 0/2 = 13, 7, 14, 11, 6
5. 13 + 0, 7 + 0, 14 + 5, 11 + 5, 6 + 5
6. 13, 07, 19, 16, 11 = First digit 2 = 339071
7. Finding 339071 minus 2 from first digit = 1339071
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
Main Number | Minus 9/10 | Double 2 | Odd/Even | ½ of next digit | 3+4+5 |
0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 2 |
| 4 | 5 | 10 | 0 | 3 | 13 |
6 | 3 | 6 | 0 | 1 | 7 |
3 | 6 | 12 | 5 | 2 | 19 |
| 5 | 4 | 8 | 5 | 3 | 16 |
| 7 | 3 | 6 | 5 | 0 | 11 |
339071
Now Minus 2 from first digit 3 – 2 = 1
Answer is 139071
