The technique of Vedic math began in India and uses sixteen formulas or principles called Sultra. How to do Vedic math is using a system of basic patterns to do any math problem that is hard to do so easy you can do it in your head. The system is using the technique of "vertically and crosswise" for solving math problems.
Many individuals find math problems a real barrier especially when it comes to adding or subtracting fractions. A couple of the most basic problem solving techniques will be discussed here to present a small peek at the simplicity of the system which is always working in a crisscross kind of pattern.
Here is a simple place to start using the numbers 100, 1000, 10, 000, 100, 000 and continuing. This is very easy to do in without writing down and really hard to come up with wrong answers. The simplicity of the formula is just this; see how far away each number is removed from 9 and the last number from 10.
To make it a little clearer: 1000 - 888 = you will first take 8 from 9 which is 1, 8 from 9 which is 1 and then 8 from 10 which is 2 so theresult is 112. 1000 - 274 = you take 9 minus each number and the last number use 10. 9 - 2 = 7, 9 - 7 = 2, 10 - 4 = 6 so the result is 726.
When doing multiplication with the vedic method of using 'vertically and crosswise' technique it is not necessary to memorize multiplication tables past the 5's. Doing the multiplication you first take the multiplying numbers and work across them and then vertically. To get the first position of the multiplication problem you will subtract each number from the base ten. Using one answer you will subtract that from the other number to get the first number place of the sum. Now you will multiple your answers to come up with the second number place of the sum. 8 x 7 = ? 10 - 8 = 2, 10 - 7 = 3 so 8 - 3 = 5 or 7 - 2 = 5 (first number is of sum is 5) then 2 x 3 = 6 (second number of sum is 6) with answer 56.
Now you have a little idea of the vedic math system which is really about patterns and formulas and a lot of practice.
