Your method for 11 might be even quicker! Dark Knight Send a noteboard - 29/02/2012 08:46:44 PM
X, followed by a zero, X added to results. 25 X 11. 25, followed by zero, 250, added by itself, 250+25 = 275. Excellent!

38 X 11 = 380+38 = 418! Just gotta be good at adding fast ;)

Sure, it's an artifact of base 10 Isaac - 29/02/2012 08:24:18 PM 618 Views
Your own fault for doing lots of math. Joel - 29/02/2012 08:37:39 PM 673 Views
More my fault for having a algebra textbook that obsessed with abnormal base calculations Isaac - 29/02/2012 09:19:15 PM 672 Views

I think it's basically the same method, but if not enjoy Isaac - 29/02/2012 09:16:21 PM 476 Views
That's what I've always used. Nate - 29/02/2012 09:24:05 PM 502 Views
Squares and factoring are also your friend. Joel - 02/03/2012 03:56:08 AM 631 Views
Yes: I was taught it in school aged 11 or 12. *NM* Tim - 29/02/2012 11:33:22 PM 204 Views
That is wayyyyy more complicated than 10x+x. But if it works for you, I am happy. *NM* Ghavrel - 01/03/2012 07:16:40 AM 223 Views
Not really Dark Knight - 01/03/2012 04:24:20 PM 460 Views
That's, uh... the same thing. Ghavrel - 01/03/2012 08:38:03 PM 441 Views
Again, it's the doing it in your head thing Dark Knight - 01/03/2012 10:27:01 PM 560 Views
Yes. It's called multiplication. *NM* Dreaded Anomaly - 02/03/2012 12:40:20 AM 268 Views
