- Adding by breaking down : This is a very simple but extremely helpful trick for the bank po, bank clerk or other competitive exams with which you can add the two or more numbers mentally in quick time without using a pen.
37 + 46
Step-1 we add the place values of tens digits of both the numbers(highlighted in red)
30 + 40 = 70
Step-2 Now, we add the unit digits of both the numbers separately(highlighted in blue)
7 + 6 = 13
Step - 3 Finally, we add the values we get at steps 1 and 2 together.
70 + 13 = 83
Example- 2
86 + 112
Step 1 We add 80 and 110
80 + 110 = 190
Step 2 we add the unit digits 6 (of 86) and 2 of (112)
6 + 2 = 8
Step 3 In final step we add the results of step 1 and step 2 (highlighted in red)
190 + 8 = 198
Example- 3
83 + 123 + 67
Step 1 We add 80 and 120 & 60
80 + 120 + 60 = 260
Step 2 we add the unit digits 3 (of 83), 3 of (123) and 7 (of 67)
3 + 3 + 7 = 13
Step 3 In final step we add the results of step 1 and step 2 (highlighted in red)
260 + 13 = 273
