Ekadhikena Poorvena

The meaning of Ekadhikena Poorvena is one more than the previous one. We can use this technique in multiplication of two numbers. We can use this technique iff the sum of two numbers in the ten's position(shown in red colour) is 10 and other position(shown in blue colour) of multiplicand remain same. For example:

• 25×25
• 38×32
• 43×47
• 136×134 etc.

Now you may get idea about when you have to use this vedic mathematic technique. Now we can check first case 25×25. In this case the 2 is poorva padham(previous number) and hence ekadhikena poorvena(one more than previous one; poorva padham) is 2+1=3. Now interesting to know that,

25×25= 2×(2+1)/(5×5)

           = 6/25=625

Same way,

• 38×32= 3×(3+1)/(8×2)

             = 12/16=1216

• 43×47= 4×(4+1)/(3×7)

             = 2021

• 136×134= 13×(13+1)/(6×4)

                 = 182/24= 18224
