Issue 98 - Fifth Power of Two digit numbers

Vedic Mathematics Newsletter No. 98


A warm welcome to our new subscribers.

Vedic Mathematics is becoming increasingly popular as more and more people are introduced to the beautifully unified and easy Vedic methods. The purpose of this Newsletter is to provide information about developments in education and research and books, articles, courses, talks etc., and also to bring together those working with Vedic Mathematics. If you are working with Vedic Mathematics - teaching it or doing research - please contact us and let us include you and some description of your work in the Newsletter. Perhaps you would like to submit an article for inclusion in a later issue or tell us about a course or talk you will be giving or have given. If you are learning Vedic Maths, let us know how you are getting on and what you think of this system.

PEBBLE MATHS PRESENTATIONS

Yesterday [29th November] at Torakina Beach, Australia, in glorious sunshine we held our 2014 Pebble Maths end of year certificate presentation ceremony. Each child received a well-earned award and a Pebble Maths pen. Everyone has achieved amazingly this year and deserved the accolade that they were given.

Congratulations everybody! And a big thank you to the parents and grandparents for their incredible support.

Have a wonderful summer holiday.

RESEARCH IN SHIV PURAN

The Shiv Puran is the fourth of the eighteen Vedic Puranas. Dr Kapoor’s research includes interpreting the verses of the Shiv Puran in terms of multidimensional spaces. Please see the e-newsletters at www.vedicganita.org – newsletters from number 34 address the Shiv Puran. For further details contact Dr Kapoor at

 

MULTIPLYING BY 9, 99 AND 999

Here's a quick shortcut for multiplying numbers by 9.

For AB x 9, subtract A + 1, then append 10-B.

For example, with 68 x 9, simply do 68 - 7 = 61, then append 10 - 8 = 2 to get 612.

For 94 x 9, you merge 94 - 10 = 84 with 10 - 4 = 6 to obtain 846.

The underlying algebra is that for a given number 10A + B, with 0 < B <9, we are computing 10[(10A + B) - (A + 1)] + (10 - B) = 90A + 9B = 9(10A + B).

Consequently, this can be applied to larger numbers. For instance, to do
123 x 9, 123 - 13 = 110 is merged with 10 - 3 = 7 to get 1107.

A similar approach can be taken when multiplying by 99. For AB x 99, subtract A+1 from 10 times AB, and then append 10 - B.

For example, with 87 x 99, simply do 870 - 9 = 861, and then append 10 - 7 = 3 to get 8613.
For 37 x 99, you merge 370 - 4 = 366 with 10 - 7 = 3 to obtain 3663.

The underlying algebra is that for a given number 10A + B, with 0 < B <9, we are computing 10[10(10A + B) - (A + 1)] + (10 - B) = 990A + 99B = 99(10A + B).

And finally, for multiplying with 999, for AB x 999, subtract A+1 from 100 times AB, and then append 10 - B.

For example, with 46 x 999, simply do 4600 - 5 = 4595, and then append 10 - 6 = 4 to get 45954.
For 77 x 999, you merge 7700 - 8 = 7692 with 10 - 7 = 3 to obtain 76923.
The underlying algebra is that for a given number 10A + B, with 0 < B <9, we are computing 10[100(10A + B) - (A + 1)] + (10 - B) = 9990A + 999B = 999(10A +B).

Fifth Power of Two digit numbers

Swami Thirthaji in his Vedic Mathematics book (Chapter 32 Elementary Squaring page 289) explained briefly how to find fourth power of a number. It is possible to extend the application of binomial theorem to find fifth power of a number.

(a+b)5 = a5 + 5a4b + 10a3b2 + 10 a2b3 + 5ab4 + b5
Coefficients of parts are 1, 5, 10, 10, 5, 1

Let us see how we can find fifth power of a two digit number.
E.g. 21. We will compute from right to left.

Steps:
1. Find ratio of two digits. Left digit divided by right digit. Here it is 2 divided by 1.

2. Find number of parts which is always one more than the power. Since power is five it will have 6 parts

3. We need to know the fifth power of right digit. Here it is one. This will occupy right most part.

4. Multiply each preceding part by ratio starting from fifth part (Anurupyena sutra).

5. Multiply each part by its corresponding coefficient as per above binomial expansion.

6. Keep only one digit in each part and carry over extra digits to left.


Step    Part:                              1       2       3       4       5       6
4         Ascending Ratio (X)      32     16       8       4       2      1
           Coefficient (Y)                1       5      10     10       5      1
5         X * Y                            32     80      80     40     10      1
6                                             40      8        4        1       0      1

Hence 215 = 4084101

If the right digit is greater than 5 then it can be converted to its vinculum form.

Let’s find fifth power of 28.

Its vinculum form is 32 in which you have to imagine there is a bar over the 2 to show it is negative.
Here ratio will be 3 divided by (-2).
Follow steps as above.
After getting answer in vinculum form, convert it to normal form.

Step     Part:                              1           2        3        4       5       6
4          Ascending Ratio (X)      243     -162    108    -72     48    -32
            Coefficient (Y)                 1           5       10      10      5       1
5          X * Y                             243     -810  1080   -720   240   -32
6                                               173      -9          1       -6     -3      -2
Change to Normal Form            172       1          0        3       6       8

Hence 285 = 17210368
