example:
6 4 24 + 26 = 50

Below a Multiple of Ten By the Deficiency
38 + 24 = 62
38 is close to 40 and is 2 below it
So, 38 + 24 is 2 below 40 + 24
38 + 24 = 40 + 24 2 = 64 2 = 62
Sum to Ten
The Ten Point Circle illustrates the pairs of numbers
whose sum is 10
1 + 2 + 7 = 10 + + = 10
+ + = 10 + + = 10
+ + = 10 + + = 10
+ + = 10 + + = 10
Can you find the other seven groups of three numbers summing to 10?

45 18 = 45 (20 2) = 45 - 20 + 2 = 25 + 2 = 27

Proportionately
Doubling Proportionately
736 = 700 + 36
Half of 42 is 21
just half each column
Half of 56 is 28
just half 50 and half 6 then add
736 = 700 + 36
16 x 7 = 2 x (8 x 7) = 2 x (56) = 112
similarly,
18 x 14= (2x9) x (2x7) = 4 x (9x7) = 4 x 63 = 2 x 126 = 252

Splitting Number to Simplify Problem

Number Splitting
Quick mental calculations can be performed more easily if the
the numbers are split into more manageable parts
This sum can look split into two more
somewhat daunting manageable sums

46 x 192 can be rewritten as 92 x 96 by doubling and halving
vertically/
46 x 192 = 92 x 96 = 8832 crosswise
Vertically and
Multiplying Numbers Near Different Bases Crosswise
Multiplying numbers near different bases
uses the same techniques
94 x 9997 9997 3 9997 is 3 below 10000
94 6 94 is 6 below 100

Using Bar Numbers
sutras
All From 9 and the Last From 10
Bar Numbers
29 is close to the number 30
Lets rewrite 29 as 31
31 means 30 1 or 29
52 means 50 2 or 48
Note the distinction
63 means 60 3 or 57 between
412 means 400 10 + 2 = 392 412 = 392
and
413 means 400 13 = 387 412 = 388
Subtraction using Bar Numbers
42=2
3 7 = -4
5 6 = -1
Negative numbers can be replaced with their bar number equivalent , so
42=2 435
37=4 So, -276
