FORMULA

The most important and sophisticated technique that we will learn from this chapter is to be able to express,
say, abcde, which denotes a 5-digit number, in the form of

abcde = 10000a + 1000b + 100c + 10d + e.


The usefulness of this simple expression is to help us solve and appreciate a unique set of mathematical
problems.
The other category of mathematical problems, namely multiplication of two extremely long string of numbers,
uses a simple concept (10 − 1 = 9) for problem solving.
Part-1

1. Evaluate: 99999999 × 22222222 + 33333333 × 33333334 =?

2. Find the sum of all the digits of 333 . . 333} × 666


| .{z | .{z
. . 666.}
2024−3 s 2024−6 s
Analysis: It is not possible to multiply two numbers of such magnitude. The whole trick to this question
lies in a simple relationship: 10 − 1 = 9.

3. The sum of all the digits of a three-digit number is 21 . The digit in the ones place is greater than
the digit in the tens place. A new number, which is 198 more than the original one, is formed by
interchanging the digit in the ones place with the digit in the hundreds place. What is the original
number?

4. Mrs.Dung was born on the 1st of January many years ago. In 2002, her age was the sum of all the four
digits of the year that she was born in. How old was she in 2024?
Analysis: Expressing the year that she was born in as 1000 + 100a+ 10b + c, if assuming it be 1abc.

Part-2

1. For each question below, do only the first three multiplication problems. Write out the next three
products based on your conjecture.

a) 3 × 4 = c) 5 × 9 =
33 × 34 = 55 × 99 =
333 × 334 = 555 × 999 =
3333 × 3334 = 5555 × 9999 =
33333 × 33334 = 55555 × 99999 =
333333 × 333334 = 555555 × 999999 =
b) 6 × 7 = d) 8 × 9 =
66 × 67 = 88 × 99 =
666 × 667 = 888 × 999 =
6666 × 6667 = 8888 × 9999 =
66666 × 66667 = 88888 × 99999 =
666666 × 666667 = 888888 × 999999 =
