Not to prolong this, but I was only so-so at math.

Something I came to notice, on my own, was the curious thing with nine-

9 x 1 = 9

9 x 2 = 18 1+8 = 9

9 x 3 = 27 2+7 = 9

9 x 4 = 36 3+6 + 9 etc

I guess that means something, no sure what.

Gee that is odd, and it works until 9 x 11. How'd we get this old and not notice that.🙃

I noticed that the answer to 9 x __ always began with a numeral one less than __ and the two numerals of the answer would add up to 9.

The answer to 9 x 5 would therefore start with a 4 and had to add up to 9.

4 + ___ = 9

4+ 5 = 9 , so the answer to 9 x 5 is 45.

Coolest math trick I ever learned was multiplication by 11.

Any number X 11 = the left digit, the sum of the left and right digits, the right digit

Example: 23 X 11 = 2 then 5 (2+3) then 3 = 253
Example: 48 X 11 = 4 (temporary) then 12 (temporary) then 8. Take the 1 from the 12 and add it to the 4 to make 5, keep the 2, then 8 = 528
Example: 534 X 11 = 5874
Example: 8639 X 11 = 95029

It gets trickier the longer the number you’re multiplying, so for those it’s easier to start from the right and move left, but it works and people think you’re a math genius when you’re not really.

A Dozen, a Gross and a Score,
plus three times the square root of four,
divided by seven,
plus five times eleven,
equals nine squared and not a bit more.

((12 + 144 + 20 + (3 * 4^1/2)) / 7) + (5 * 11) = 9^2 + 0

Actually, I remember seeing that 9 magic on a kids’ show of some sort my children were watching in the early 1980s.
