Let us learn, how to do 'Division' operation using 'Vedic Math'. Conventionally, we do it like following:
Divisor ) Dividend ( Quotient
---------
---------
_________
Remainder
However, in the Vedic process, the format is
Divisor ) Dividend
--------
__________________
Quotient | Remainder
Let us first start with one of the special case of division i.e. Division By 9, a very interesting and simple technique.
When dividing by 9, the remainder is always the digit sum of the original number.
For 2-digit number divided by 9
To divide ab by 9 : Rewrite ab as a | b . The quotient is a, and the remainder is simply a + b.
a | b
| a
---------
a | a + b
Examples:
12 divided by 9
Here quotient = 1 and remainder = 1+2 = 3
23 divided by 9
Here quotient = 2 and remainder = 2+3 = 5
70 divided by 9
Here quotient = 7 and remainder = 7+0 = 7
Now, let us discuss the cases when remainder is greater than 9 :-
