Multiplying by 11





 MULTIPLY any number BY 11 - Find the answer in seconds


To multiply any number by 11 do the following:
Working from right to left
  1. Write the rightmost digit of the starting number down.
  2. Add each pair of digits and write the results down, (carrying digits where necessary right to left).
  3. Finally write down the left most digit (adding any final carry if necessary).
It's as simple as that, e.g.
  • Multiply 712x11
Digit1        Digit2         Digit3           Digit4
7             7+1            1+2               2
first no.     Sum of        Sum of            Last no.


               I and II      II & III 
So it is  712x11=7832
Another Example 

Multiply 8738x11

8   8+7     7+3   3+8    8
8    15      10    11    8 ( Now let us carry over the sum,
                              since we are getting 2 digits in the sum)
9    6        1    1    8  So the answer is 
 8738x11=96118


Is in it Simple ?
