Both number are lower, both higher, one is higher and second is lower, multiply
using other base, number of which last 2or 3 or 4 digit added up give
100,1000,10000 and multiply whose first figure are the same and whose last figures
add up to 10,100, etc.
Deviation, the difference between base and orignal number, it can be either
positive or negative.
Cross-subtract in the converse way (i.e. 1 from 8). And you get 7 as the left-
hand side portion of the required answer.
8-1=7
Cross-subtract Deviation (2) on the second row from the original number (9) in
the first row. And you find that you have got (9-2) i.e. 7 again.
Subtract the sum of the two Deviations (1+2=3) from the base (10). You get the
same answer (7) again ; (10-1-2)=7
Subtract the base 10 from the sum of the given numbers (9 and 7 i.e. 17). And
put (17-10) i.e. 7, as the left-hand part of the answer ;
Hence, 9x8=72
This was easy one and you might also know the answer before start of this example.
This method holds good in all cases and is, therefore, capable of infinite
application.
This proves the correctness of the formula. The algebraically explanation for this
is very simple :-
(x-a) (x-b) = x (x-a-b)+ab. Where , x is the Base, and a,b are the Deviations
respectively. See Proved, below
9 x 8
=(10-1)(10-2)
=10(10-1-2)+(-1)x(-2)
=10(7)+2
=70+2
=72
Now left term ====> 7-4=3, add carry if present,in this it is one =====> 3+1=4
therefore,left answer =4
answer is 42.
