Product of a single digit number with 9
This algorithm is useful for kids that are lazy enough to memorize the multiplication table of 9.
The algorithm works like this:
Suppose you want a product of n and 9, you can do
- n - 1
- 10 -n
- The answer is (n-1) as the first digit and (10 - n) as the second digit.
Example:
4 x 9 =36
First digit: 4 - 1 = 3
Second digit: 10 - 4 = 6
Note: This trick only works on multiplication of any single digit number with 9.

Anak2 sy ada satu cara mudah waktu kita ‘tolak’ nombor kecil di atas dengan nombot ‘besar’ di bawah
contoh
42
- 19
Proses dia kalau angka di bawah lagi besar, tolak dari bawah = 9-2 = 7
otometik dia akan tulis =3
4 tinggal 3, jadi senang untuk tolak 1.
Bila guna mcm ni. dia tak perlu bayangkankan dalam otak angka belas2…contoh tadi 4 di potong jadi 3. 2 tambah 10 akan jadi 12. Dari 12 baru di tolak 9.
Tapi sistem ini hanya berhasil jika kita hafal formula ini
Kalau
1 perlu tulis 9
August 15, 2008, 2:46 pm2 perlu tulis 8
3 perlu tulis 7
4 perlu tulis 6
5 tetap dgn 5

atok saya ajar cara ni..
listkan no 0-9 (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9)
pastu listkan skali lagi tapi diterbalikkan (9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0)
so dia jadi macam ni…
0 9
1 8
2 7
3 6
4 5
5 4
6 3
7 2
8 1
9 0

Adila: Nice. However, your technique and neither mine could solve a multiplication of 2 digits number and a nine.
