Sum of Unit Digits Is 10
Sum of Unit Digits Is 10
First Figures are Same and Last Figure Adds to 10, 100, and so on…
Let us start with 2-digit numbers.
Here, 2-digit numbers start with the same digit and the sum of their last digits is 10. In such
cases, the product of the two numbers can be easily computed.
Example 1: 42 x 48 = ?
Here, the first digit of both numbers are same, i.e. 4 and the last digit of both numbers add to 10, i.e. 2+8.
The result comprises of 2 parts:
1st part or Left figure = multiply the digit with One more than the digit
2nd part or Right figure = multiply both the digits
Remember that since the 2 digits add to 10, so the right figure will contain 2 digits,
i.e. if the product of 2 digits is, say 9 then it will be written as 09.
