Just practice a few more problems like these and youll be able to get this right. This
method is quite useful but you have to be quick with numbers. Keep trying!!!
7. Using digit sum to check accuracy of a problem:
When doing either addition or multiplication, we can just check its correctness by
calculating the digit sums of individual numbers and performing similar operations on
them. When adding digits, you dont have to add 9s or any combination that add up to 9,
its simply not required and keep on adding digits till you get a single digit.(Eg. 384 = 3 +
8 + 4 = 15 = 1 + 5 = 6)
Eg: 24 * 37 = 888
2 + 4 = 6, 3 + 7 = 10 = 1
Thus, 6 * 1 = 6
8 + 8 + 8 = 24 = 2 + 4 = 6
Eg: 564 + 386 = 950
5 + 6 + 4 = 15 = 6 (5 + 4 need not be counted and you get 6 directly)
3 + 8 + 6 = 8 (same here, 3 + 6 not counted)
6 + 8 = 14 = 5
950 = 5 (9 not counted)
Note that this method will only tell if you have erred in addition or multiplication. If both
the checksums are identical, you maybe right, and thats not confirmed as there maybe
other combinations giving the same checksum(like in case of 950, 959 will also give the
same checksum of 5). But still atleast it can tell you if you have erred. Dont rely on
this!!! Its just an add - on that I thought I should share.
