Addition Made Easy

SUTRA: – By splitting the numbers into ones, tens, hundreds, etc. Remember we split a number by using addition only. It means a number will be split as a sum of two smaller numbers. For example – 67 as 60 + 7, 147 as 100 + 40 + 7.

Example 1:  24 + 63 + 58 + 45

Step 1 – Split the numbers to be added into tens and ones.

20 + 4 + 60 + 3 + 50 + 8 + 40 + 5

Step 2 – Put all tens together and all ones together.

20 + 60 + 50 + 40 + 4 + 3 + 8 + 5

Step 3 – Add all the tens. Add all the ones.

170 + 20

Step 4 – Now add all to get the total.

Ans. 190

Example 2: 54 + 89 + 125 + 276 + 684

Solution: = 50 + 4 + 80 + 9 + 100 + 20 + 5 + 200 + 70 + 6 + 600 + 80 + 4 (Splitting into ones, tens and hundreds)

            = 100 + 200 + 600 + 50 + 80 + 20 + 70 + 80 + 4 + 9 + 5 + 6 + 4 (Putting all hundreds together, all tens together and all ones together)

            = 900 + 400 + 28 (Adding all hundreds, all tens and all ones separately)

            = 1300 + 28 (As required, Adding hundreds again)

            = 1328 (Adding finally)

Example 3: 3465 + 87 + 2764 + 547 + 423 + 45

Solution:

= 3000 + 400 + 60 + 5 + 80 + 7 + 2000 + 700 + 60 + 4 + 500 + 40 + 7 + 400 + 20 + 3 + 40 + 5

= 3000 + 2000 + 400 + 700 + 500 + 400 + 60 + 80 + 60 + 40 + 20 + 40 + 5 +7 + 4 + 7 + 3 +5

            = 5000 + 2000 + 300 + 31

             = 7000 + 300 + 31

             = 7331
