4. Learn the Divisibility rules as it will be beneficial for you to do the calculation in no time.

Numbers If a Number
Divisible by 2 End with 0,2,4,6,8 are divisible by 2
Divisible by 3 Sum of its digits  is divisible by 3
Divisible by 4 Last two digit divisible by 4
Divisible by 5 Ends with 0 or 5
Divisible by 6 Divides by Both 2 & 3
Divisible by 8 Last 3 digit divide by 8
Divisible by 10 End with 0
Divisible by 11 [Sum of its digit in  odd places-Sum of its digits in even places]= 0 or multiple of 11

5. Learn the different tricks that can really help you to fasten your calculation like Digital sum method that is explained below:

  • In this method, we get the digit-sum of a number by adding across the number. for eg, the digit-sum of 13022 is 1+3+0+2+2=8
  • The trick is to  always reduce the digit-sum to a single figure. for eg, the digit-sum of 5264 is 5+2+6+4=17 and further reduce it to single figure i.e 17 is reduced to a single figure i.e. digit sum of 1+7=8.
  • What is important to note here is the fact that in adding across a number we may drop out 9, 9 doesn’t count on digit sum. eg1: digit sum of 9901is (0+1)= 1 or eg2: digit sum of 279 is (2+7+9)= 0 here digit sum of (2,7) makes 9.
  • Even for decimals, the process remains the same but we don’t pay attention to the decimal points. The digit sum of 6.256 is (6+2+5+6)=19, neglect 9= digit sum is 1
  • We can apply this trick  for addition, subtraction, multiplication, division. You can straight away eliminate the options based on this method.

6. There are lots of tips and tricks to simplify the Multiplication process, learning the short tricks to find out the squares of any number. We are giving you the direct links of all these tricks, make sure you go through them once as it will be really helpful for you.
