Two digit multiplication with 50

Ex 1 : 18 x 50 = ?

Multiplication with 50 may take time for you. But if I ask
50 paise coins 18 = How many rupees

You will immediately tells 9 rupees. It is nothing but 18 x 50 = 900

When you are multiplying with 25 or 50, just think in paise. You will get answer quickly.

Lets how to do it in easy way. To do multiplication with 50, you need to remember table 2.

For example 18 x 50 = ?

when you divide 18 with 2, result is 9 and remainder is 0

So result is 900

Let me take one more example

Ex 2: 17 x 50 =  ?

When you divide 17 with 2, result is 8 and remainder is 1
So result is 850

Please note if remainder is 0, last two digits in the result  00
                   if remainder is 1, last two digits in the result 50  

Let me take more examples

Ex 3: 24 x 50 = 1200 (24 divided 2  is 12 and remainder 0)
Ex 4: 35 x 50 = 1750 (35 divided 2  is 17 and remainder 1)

Start practicing two digit multiplication...
