Making multiplication easier:-

*Multiplying two digit numbers (less than 100 and greater or equal to 80) with each other:

Example: 93 x 97

Steps: 1) Find the difference of each number from 100:

93     x        97

+7               +3

2) Cross Subtract the difference

(93-3) = (97-7) = 90 => This is the first part of the answer

3) Multiply the differences

5 x 3 = 15 => This is the last part of the answer

Thus, 93 x 97 = 9015

*Multiplying three digit numbers (greater than 100 and less than or equal to 120) with each other:

Example:- 107 x 104

Steps: 1) Find the difference of each number from 100:

107   x        104

 +7               +4

2) Cross add the difference

(107+4)=(104+7)=111 => This is the first part of the answer

3) Multiply the differences:

7x4=28 => This is the last part of the answer

Thus, 107x104= 11128
