Prerequisite / Background

• Single Digit Addition
• E.g., 4 5 9
• With carry
• E.g., 4 8 12
• Single Digit Subtraction
• E.g., 9 - 5 4
• With borrow
• E.g., 12 - 04 08

Multiplying Single Digit Numbers

• 1 2 2
• 1 x 2 2
• 3 4
• 4 3
• 12
• 5 5
• 25

12
Single Digit Multiplication (of Large Digits in
terms of Small Digits) using Vedic Approach

1. Method Vertically and Crosswise Sutra
2. Correctness and Applicability

13
10s Complement
10s complement of a digit d is (10 d).

14
Method Multiply 7 8

• Write the first digit to be multiplied and its
  10s complement in the first row, and the second
  digit to be multiplied and its 10s complement in
  the second row.
• 7 3
• 8 2

15

• 7 3
• 8 2
• To determine the 2-digit product
• subtract crosswise to obtain the left digit
• (7 2) (8 3) 5
• and
• multiply the complements vertically to obtain the
  right digit.
• (3 2) 6
• 7 8 56

16
Another Example

• 8 9
• 8 2
• 9 1
• 7 2
• 8 9 72

17
Questions

• Why do both crosswise subtractions yield the same
  result?
• Why does this method yield the correct answer for
  this example?
• Does this method always work for any pair of
  digits?

18
Proof Sketch

• (8 3) (7 2) 5
• Why are they same?
• That is, the difference between first digit and
  10s complement of the second digit.
• (8 (10 7)) (8 7 10) (15 10) 5
• (7 (10 8)) (7 8 10) (15 10) 5

19
Correctness ArgumentTwo possibilities

• 8 (10 2)
• 7 (10 3)
• 8 7
• (10 2) 7
• 10 7 2 7
• 10 7 2 (10 3)
• 10 7 2 10 (2 3)
• 10 (7 2) 6
• 10 5 6
• 56

• 8 (10 2)
• 7 (10 3)
• 8 7
• 8 (10 3)
• 8 10 8 3
• 8 10 (10 2) 3
• 8 10 10 3 (2 3)
• 10 (8 3) 6
• 10 5 6
