Mental counting, like everything else, has its tricks, and in order to learn to count faster you need to know these tricks and be able to apply them in practice.

Today we will do just that!

1. How to quickly add and subtract numbers

Let's look at three random examples:

  1. 25 – 7 =
  2. 34 – 8 =
  3. 77 – 9 =

Like 25 – 7 = (20 + 5) – (5- 2) = 20 – 2 = (10 + 10) – 2 = 10 + 8 = 18

Agree that such operations are difficult to carry out in your head.

But there is an easier way:

25 – 7 = 25 – 10 + 3, since -7 = -10 + 3

It is much easier to subtract 10 from a number and add 3 than to make complicated calculations.

Let's return to our examples:

  1. 25 – 7 =
  2. 34 – 8 =
  3. 77 – 9 =

Let's optimize the subtracted numbers:

  1. Subtract 7 = subtract 10 add 3
  2. Subtract 8 = subtract 10 add 2
  3. Subtract 9 = subtract 10 add 1

In total we get:

  1. 25 – 10 + 3 =
  2. 34 – 10 + 2 =
  3. 77 – 10 + 1 =

Now it’s much more interesting and easier!

Now calculate the examples below in this way:

  1. 91 – 7 =
  2. 23 – 6 =
  3. 24 – 5 =
  4. 46 – 8 =
  5. 13 – 7 =
  6. 64 – 6 =
  7. 72 – 19 =
  8. 83 – 56 =
  9. 47 – 29 =

2. How to quickly multiply by 4, 8 and 16

In the case of multiplication, we also break numbers into simpler ones, for example:

If you remember the multiplication table, then everything is simple. What if not?

Then you need to simplify the operation:

We put the largest number first, and decompose the second into simpler ones:

8 * 4 = 8 * 2 * 2 = ?

Doubling numbers is much easier than quadrupling or octupling them.

We get:

8 * 4 = 8 * 2 * 2 = 16 * 2 = 32

Examples of decomposing numbers into simpler ones:

  1. 4 = 2*2
  2. 8 = 2*2 *2
  3. 16 = 22 * 2 2

Practice this method using the following examples:

  1. 3 * 8 =
  2. 6 * 4 =
  3. 5 * 16 =
  4. 7 * 8 =
  5. 9 * 4 =
  6. 8 * 16 =

3. Dividing a number by 5

Let's take the following examples:

  1. 780 / 5 = ?
  2. 565 / 5 = ?
  3. 235 / 5 = ?

Dividing and multiplying with the number 5 is always very simple and enjoyable, because five is half of ten.

And how to solve them quickly?

  1. 780 / 10 * 2 = 78 * 2 = 156
  2. 565 /10 * 2 = 56,5 * 2 = 113
  3. 235 / 10 * 2 = 23,5 *2 = 47

To work through this method, solve the following examples:

  1. 300 / 5 =
  2. 120 / 5 =
  3. 495 / 5 =
  4. 145 / 5 =
  5. 990 / 5 =
  6. 555 / 5 =
  7. 350 / 5 =
  8. 760 / 5 =
  9. 865 / 5 =
  10. 1270 / 5 =
  11. 2425 / 5 =
  12. 9425 / 5 =

4. Multiplying by single digits

Multiplication is a little more difficult, but not much, how would you solve the following examples?

  1. 56 * 3 = ?
  2. 122 * 7 = ?
  3. 523 * 6 = ?

Without special counters, solving them is not very pleasant, but thanks to the “Divide and Conquer” method we can count them much faster:

  1. 56 * 3 = (50 + 6)3 = 50 3 + 6*3 = ?
  2. 122 * 7 = (100 + 20 + 2)7 = 100 7 + 207 + 2 7 = ?
  3. 523 * 6 = (500 + 20 + 3)6 = 500 6 + 206 + 3 6 =?

All we have to do is multiply single-digit numbers, some of which have zeros, and add the results.

To work through this technique, solve the following examples:

  1. 123 * 4 =
  2. 236 * 3 =
  3. 154 * 4 =
  4. 490 * 2 =
  5. 145 * 5 =
  6. 990 * 3 =
  7. 555 * 5 =
  8. 433 * 7 =
  9. 132 * 9 =
  10. 766 * 2 =
  11. 865 * 5 =
  12. 1270 * 4 =
  13. 2425 * 3 =
  14. Divisibility of a number by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 9

Check the numbers: 523, 221, 232

A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.

For example, take the number 732, represent it as 7 + 3 + 2 = 12. 12 is divisible by 3, which means the number 372 is divisible by 3.

Check which of the following numbers are divisible by 3:

12, 24, 71, 63, 234, 124, 123, 444, 2422, 4243, 53253, 4234, 657, 9754

A number is divisible by 4 if the number consisting of its last two digits is divisible by 4.

For example, 1729. The last two digits form 20, which is divisible by 4.

Check which of the following numbers are divisible by 4:

20, 24, 16, 34, 54, 45, 64, 124, 2024, 3056, 5432, 6872, 9865, 1242, 2354

A number is divisible by 5 if its last digit is 0 or 5.

Check which of the following numbers are divisible by 5 (the easiest exercise):

3, 5, 10, 15, 21, 23, 56, 25, 40, 655, 720, 4032, 14340, 42343, 2340, 243240

A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by both 2 and 3.

Check which of the following numbers are divisible by 6:

22, 36, 72, 12, 34, 24, 16, 26, 122, 76, 86, 56, 46, 126, 124

A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9.

For example, take the number 6732, represent it as 6 + 7 + 3 + 2 = 18. 18 is divisible by 9, which means the number 6732 is divisible by 9.

Check which of the following numbers are divisible by 9:

9, 16, 18, 21, 26, 29, 81, 63, 45, 27, 127, 99, 399, 699, 299, 49
