which is .60, and then the logarithm of 5, which is .70 because 4.5 is between these two. Next, and skill at this comes with practice, place a 5 on a logarithmic scale between .6 and .7, somewhere around .653 (NOTE: the actual value of the extra places will always be greater than if it were placed on a regular scale. i.e., one would expect it to go at .650 because it is halfway, but instead, it will be a little larger, in this case, .653) Once one has obtained the logarithm of a, simply add b to it to get the approximation of the common logarithm. In this case, a + b = .653 + 1 = 1.653. The actual value of log(45) ~ 1.65321.

It consists of four different standard tasks --- addition of ten ten-digit numbers, multiplication of two eight-digit numbers, calculation of square roots, and calculation of weekdays for given dates --- in addition to a variety of "surprise" tasks. 3348:
An easy task for the beginner is extracting cube roots from the cubes of 2-digit numbers. For example, given 74088, determine what two-digit number, when multiplied by itself once and then multiplied by the number again, yields 74088. One who knows the method will quickly know the answer is 42, as 42

The first step in approximating the common logarithm is to put the number given in scientific notation. For example, the number 45 in scientific notation is 4.5 × 10, but one will call it a × 10. Next, find the logarithm of a, which is between 1 and 10. Start by finding the logarithm of 4,
3513:
The second step is to determine the first digit of the two-digit cube root by looking at the magnitude of the given cube. To do this, remove the last three digits of the given cube (29791 β†’ 29) and find the greatest cube it is greater than (this is where knowing the cubes of numbers 1-10 is needed).
2493: 216:
When multiplying, a useful thing to remember is that the factors of the operands still remain. For example, to say that 14 × 15 was 201 would be unreasonable. Since 15 is a multiple of 5, the product should be as well. Likewise, 14 is a multiple of 2, so the product should be even. Furthermore,

3620:
The same process applies for numbers between 0 and 1. For example, 0.045 would be written as 4.5 Γ— 10. The only difference is that b is now negative, so when adding one is really subtracting. This would yield the result 0.653 βˆ’ 2, or βˆ’1.347.

In other words, the square of a number is the square of its difference from 100 added to the product of one hundred and the difference of one hundred and the product of two and the difference of one hundred and the number. For example, to square 93:
217:
any number which is a multiple of both 5 and 2 is necessarily a multiple of 10, and in the decimal system would end with a 0. The correct answer is 210. It is a multiple of 10, 7 (the other prime factor of 14) and 3 (the other prime factor of 15).

There are two steps to extracting the cube root from the cube of a two-digit number. For example, extracting the cube root of 29791. Determine the one's place (units) of the two-digit number. Since the cube ends in 1, as seen above, it must be 1.
1455:
The products of small numbers may be calculated by using the squares of integers; for example, to calculate 13 Γ— 17, one can remark 15 is the mean of the two factors, and think of it as (15 − 2) Γ— (15 + 2),
2611:
So the estimated square root of 15 is 3.875. The actual square root of 15 is 3.872983... One thing to note is that, no matter what the original guess was, the estimated answer will always be larger than the actual answer due to the

3315: 2763: 3514:
Here, 29 is greater than 1 cubed, greater than 2 cubed, greater than 3 cubed, but not greater than 4 cubed. The greatest cube it is greater than is 3, so the first digit of the two-digit cube must be 3.
1282:
Since 9 = 10 − 1, to multiply a number by nine, multiply it by 10 and then subtract the original number from the result. For example, 9 Γ— 27 = 270 − 27 = 243.
261:
This method can be used to subtract numbers left to right, and if all that is required is to read the result aloud, it requires little of the user's memory even to subtract numbers of arbitrary size.
1172:
this expression is analogous to any number in base 10 with a hundreds, tens and ones place. FOIL can also be looked at as a number with F being the hundreds, OI being the tens and L being the ones.

Multiply these numbers together to get 242,000 (This can be done efficiently by dividing 484 by 2 = 242 and multiplying by 1000). Finally, add the difference (8) squared (8 = 64) to the result:
115:. People may use mental calculation when computing tools are not available, when it is faster than other means of calculation (such as conventional educational institution methods), or even in 3165: 1858: 1285:
This method can be adjusted to multiply by eight instead of nine, by doubling the number being subtracted; 8 Γ— 27 = 270 − (2Γ—27) = 270 − 54 = 216.

To approximate a common logarithm (to at least one decimal point accuracy), a few logarithm rules, and the memorization of a few logarithms is required. One must know:
424: 383: 1272: 1198: 2757:
It may simplify mental calculation to notice that this method is equivalent to the mean of the known square and the unknown square, divided by the known square root:
1416:
Subtract both variables from 100 which will result in 2 one-digit number. The product of the 2 one-digit numbers will be the last two digits of one's final product.
1288:
Similarly, by adding instead of subtracting, the same methods can be used to multiply by 11 and 12, respectively (although simpler methods to multiply by 11 exist).
1296:
For single digit numbers simply duplicate the number into the tens digit, for example: 1 Γ— 11 = 11, 2 Γ— 11 = 22, up to 9 Γ— 11 = 99.

1399:
Second example: 87 x 11 = 957 because 8 + 7 = 15 so the 5 goes in between the 8 and the 7 and the 1 is carried to the 8. So it is basically 857 + 100 = 957.

The product of two variables ranging from 90-99 will result in a 4-digit number. The first step is to find the ones-digit and the tens digit.
3510:
Note that every digit corresponds to itself except for 2, 3, 7 and 8, which are just subtracted from ten to obtain the corresponding digit.
1092: 46: 164:
If the resulting sum has two or more digits, sum those digits as in step one; repeat this step until the resulting sum has only one digit.

2642: 208:
The same procedure can be used with multiple operations, repeating steps 1 and 2 for each operation.
2930: 198:
Perform the original operation on the condensed operands, and sum digits: 2 × 7 = 14; 1 + 4 = 5
1372:
Another method is to simply multiply the number by 10, and add the original number to the result.
