VEDIC MATHEMATICS FOR BEGINNERS

Lesson 2
 

For example, for the number 68, the nearest base ten  that is more than 68 is 100.

The  last digit in 68  is  8 and the other digit  is  6.

When we subtract “all from nine and the last from ten”,we get

6 from 9, that is     9 – 6 = 3    ( other than the last from nine)

8 from 10, that is  10 – 8 = 2   ( last from ten)

Thus,  100 – 68 = 32 can be obtained mentally by using Nikhilam that is “ all from nine and the last from ten”.

Examples:

a)      Complement of  73 :  

                  Think mentally -  7 from 9  (9 – 7 ) = 2

                                                 3 from 10  (10 – 3) = 7

Therefore,  100 – 73 = 27.

b)      Complement  of 43 :     4 from 9    =  5

                                            3 from 10  =  7

         Complement of  43 is 57     Answer

c)       Complement of  88 :

                                                8             8

                                              9 – 8      10 – 8

                                              1             2     Answer

d)      Complement  of     4 9

                                           5 1     Answer

e)      Complement of   7 0   =   30

f)       Complement  of   10   =   90.
