Vedic Mathematics A) Squaring & Cubing 1) Squaring of numbers ending with 5 Multiply the number formed after ignoring the 5 in units place with the next integer to it. This is the left part of answer. Append a 25 as the right part. e.g. Square of 65 is 6x7 with 25 appended to it i.e. 4225 Square of 25 = 2x3=6 & 5x5=25 answer is 625 Square of 35 = 3x4=12 & 5x5=25 answer is 1225 Square of 95 = 9x10=90 & 5x5=25 answer is 9025 2) If number is between 30 to 80 Find out the ‘surplus’ (or for the matter the ‘deficit’) with 50. the right part of the answer is the square of this surplus, just remember that the right part will have only 2 digits, all else will be carried over to left part. The left part is 25 + surplus + carryover if any. Square of 57 = 57-50=7 = 25+7 =32 is the left part & right part is square of 7 =49. Answer is 3249 Square of 38 = 38-50=-12 = 25+ (-12) =13=3+1=4 is the right part & left part is square of (-12) =144. Answer is 1444
