Multiply a 2-digit Number by 99 cont'd

Continuing from the previous post......

What other patterns can you derive from (a), (f), and (g)?

a) 99 x 37
f) 99 x 55
g) 99 x 19

Did you see any pattern?

Well, the pattern that I see is, when 99 multiply a number that both digits add up to 10, (e.g., 99 x 19, 99 x 28, 99 x 73, 99 x 64), it will produce a symmetrical number, eg. 1881, 2772, 7227, 6336. Having this in mind, I hope it can speed up your mental calcuation.

Have fun
