| The technique of Vedic math began in India and | | | | Example: 1000 - 777 = you will work across and |
| uses sixteen formulas or principles called Sultra. | | | | the first 7 from 9 is 2, the second 7 from 9 is 2 |
| How to do Vedic math is using a system of basic | | | | and the last 7 from 10 is 3 so your answer is |
| patterns to do any math problem that is hard to | | | | 223. 1000 - 357 = you will take each number |
| do so easy you can do it in your head. The | | | | from 9 and the last from 10. 9 - 3 = 6, 9 - 5 = 4, |
| system is using the technique of "vertically and | | | | 10 - 7 = 3 so the answer is 643. |
| crosswise" for solving math problems. | | | | A simple technique for multiplying using the |
| Working with fractions, either adding or | | | | 'vertically and crosswise' method and with this |
| subtracting, can be a stumbling block for a lot of | | | | there is no need to know any multiplication tables |

| To begin here is a basic method that makes | | | | are multiplied to get the second number of the |
| subtracting any numbers from 100, 1000, 10, 000, | | | | sum. |
| 100, 000 and so on extremely simple to do in | | | | These are just two little examples to give you |
