To solve this, we
will apply Vedic
Maths sutra No 2

4. www.vedicmathsofindia.com
The powers of 10
from which the
difference is
calculated is called
the Base.

5. www.vedicmathsofindia.com
87 x 74 = ?
These two digits are
neither closer to 10 nor
100.

6. www.vedicmathsofindia.com
So, we will take base
10 x 8 = 80
(since 87 & 74 are closer to 80)

7. www.vedicmathsofindia.com
87 x 74 = ?
So, here base is 80.
Hence the difference
between the base and
numbers are +7 and -6
respectively

8. www.vedicmathsofindia.com
We will write this as
87 +7
X 74 -6
-----------------

9. www.vedicmathsofindia.com
Step 1: Multiply +7 x -6
87 +7
X 74 -6
---------------
-2Carry - 4

We will write this as
87 +7
X 74 -6
---------------
2Carry - 4
See
here

11. 87 +7
X 74 -6
---------------
2Carry - 4
For base Below 100 , there will be 1 digit on right
side and for base above 100, it is 2 digit, prefix 0
when answer is single digit in step 1 for Base
above 100.

Step 2: Cross add 87 + -6
87 +7
X 74 -6
- - - - - - - - - - - -
81 2

13. www.vedicmathsofindia.com
Step 3: Multiply 81 by 8
(since we have taken base
as 80. i.e. 10 x 8)
81 2
X 8
648

14. www.vedicmathsofindia.com
Step 4:
81 2
X 8
648
+ Carried - 4
644

15. www.vedicmathsofindia.com
So We get 6442
as a answer
But 6442
is not a correct answer

16. www.vedicmathsofindia.com
So, We will write this as
6440
-2

17. www.vedicmathsofindia.com
So, answer will be
6440
-2
6438

18. www.vedicmathsofindia.com
So,
87
X 74
----------
6438
