Multiplying with 11

Multiplying by 11 is very easy and very interesting also.

For Example take 12345 x 11

Just forget about 11 and concentrate on 12345

Step 1 Take last digit of 12345 (i.e. 5) to the answer: Ans 5

Step 2 Add last digit of 12345 with immediate neighbor

i.e. 5+4=9

take it to answer Ans 95

Step 3 Add Next two neighbors of 12345

i.e 3+4=7

take it to answer

Ans 795

Step 4 Add Next two neighbors of 12345

i.e 2+3=5

take it to answer Ans 5795

Step 5 Add Next two neighbors of 12345

i.e 1+2=3

take it to answer

Ans 35795

Step 6 Take first digit of 12345 to answer :

Ans 135795

So Answer is 135795

Example:

120342 x 11

Lat digit taken to the answer 120342 Ans 2 Last digit added to neighbor 120342 Ans 62 Next two neighbors added 120342 Ans 762 Next two neighbors added 120342 Ans 3762 Next two neighbors added 120342 Ans 23762 Next two neighbors added 120342 Ans 323762 First digit taken to the answer 120342 Ans 1323762

So the Answer is 1323762

In case of carry, the carry is added to the total of neighbors

Example:

226987 x 11 Lat digit taken to the answer 226987 Ans 7 Last digit added to the neighbor 226987 Ans 57 ‘1’ carried over Next two neighbors added + carry 226987 Ans 857 ‘1’ carried over Next two neighbors added + carry 226987 Ans 6857 ‘1’ carried over Next two neighbors added + carry 226987 Ans 96857 Next two neighbors added 226987 Ans 496857 First digit taken to answer 226987 Ans 2496857

Example :-

792421 x 11

Lat digit taken to the answer 792421 Ans 1 Last digit added to the neighbor 792421 Ans 31 Next two neighbors added 792421 Ans 631 Next two neighbors added 792421 Ans 6631 Next two neighbors added 792421 Ans 16631 ‘1’ is carried over Next two neighbors added + carry 792421 Ans 716631 ‘1’ is carried over First digit + carry taken to answer 792421 Ans 8716631
