Vedic maths tricks for Addition

The addition is one of the most basic operations of Vedic mathematics. It states that,

(1) Find out the number which is closest to the 10s multiple because it is easier to add those numbers. For example, 

7, 8, 9 close to 10

21, 22, 23 close to 20

67, 68, 69, are close to 70

97, 98, 99, are close to 100 ....... and so on. /p>

(2) Add the numbers which are the multiples of 10s/p>

(3) Add/Subtract the deficiency of numbers.

 

Let’s understand with the help of an example.

Suppose, we have to add 27 and 98.

So, Vedic maths tells us to add 30 and 100 which is 130 and then subtract (3+2) i.e. the deficiency from 130. So the result will be 125.

Similarly, if we have to add 66 and 576.

So, Vedic maths tells us to add 70 and 580 which is 650 and then subtract (4+4) i.e. the deficiency from 650. So the result will be 642.

There is yet another trick to perform addition using Vedic maths which states to add hundreds with hundreds, tens with tens and ones with ones, and so on. 

 

For example, Suppose we have the following question, 220 + 364 + 44 + 18 = ?

Vedic maths tells us to break the numbers as per their place values. So, we will break the addition into:

200 + 300 = 500

20 + 60 +40 +10 = 130

4 + 4 +8 = 16

Repeat the process:

500 + 100 = 600

30 + 10 = 40

And at the units place we have 6.

Now perform, 600 + 40 + 6 = 646
