Multiplying 2 Numbers Whose Ten's Digits Are The Same And Whose One's Digits Add To 5:

A.  From algebra we learn:

(10a + b) (10a + (5-b)) =

1.  100(a2 + a/2) + 10(0) + b(5-b), if a is even

2.  100(a2 + a-1/2) + 10(5) + b(5-b), if a is odd

B.  Using numbers instead of variables we get the following:

1.  Multiply the one's digits.  Write this down.

2.  If a is even, write 0.  If a is odd, write 5.

3.  If a is even, add a/2 to a2.  Write this value down.

4.  If a is odd, add a-1/2 to a2.  Write this value down.

C.  Examples:

Ex [1]  41 x 44 = ______

a.  Multiply 1 x 4 = 4.  Write down 4.

b.  Since a=4 is even, write 0.

c.  Add 42 + 4/2 = 18.  Write 18.

d.  The answer is 1804.

Ex [2]  132 x 133 = _____

a.  Multiply 2 x 3 = 6.  Write 6.

b.  Since 13 is odd, write 5.

c.  Add 132 + 13-1/2 = 169 + 6 = 175.

d.  The answer is 17556.

D.  This trick works, but only if the last numbers add to 5.  For a more general formula I suggest using Multiplying 2 Numbers With The Same Ten's Digit.
