ŨRDHVA TIRYAGBHYĀM
Urdhva – tiryagbhyam is the general formula applicable to all cases of
multiplication and also in the division of a large number by another large
number. It means “Vertically and cross wise.”(a) Multiplication of two 2 digit numbers. Ex.1: Find the product 14 X 12 i) The right hand most digit of the multiplicand, the first number (14) i.e., 4 is multiplied by the right hand most digit of the multiplier, the second number (12) i.e., 2. The product 4 X 2 = 8 forms the right hand most part of the answer. ii) Now, diagonally multiply the first digit of the multiplicand (14) i.e., 4 and second digit of the multiplier (12) i.e., 1 (answer 4 X 1=4); then multiply the second digit of the multiplicand i.e., 1 and first digit of the multiplier i.e., 2 (answer 1 X 2 = 2); add these two i.e., 4 + 2 = 6. It gives the next, i.e., second digit of the answer. Hence second digit of the answer is 6. iii) Now, multiply the second digit of the multiplicand i.e., 1 and second digit of the multiplier i.e., 1 vertically, i.e., 1 X 1 = 1. It gives the left hand most part of the answer. Thus the answer is 16 8. Symbolically we can represent the process as follows : The symbols are operated from right to left . Step i) : Step ii) : Step iii) : Now in the same process, answer can be written as 23 13 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 2 : 6 + 3 : 9 = 299 (Recall the 3 steps) Ex.3 41 X 41 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 16 : 4 + 4 : 1 = 1681. What happens when one of the results i.e., either in the last digit or in the middle digit of the result, contains more than 1 digit ? Answer is simple. The right – hand – most digit there of is to be put down there and the preceding, i.e., left –hand –side digit or digits should be carried over to the left and placed under the previous digit or digits of the upper row. The digits carried over may be written as in Ex. 4. Ex.4: 32 X 24 Step (i) : 2 X 4 = 8 Step (ii) : 3 X 4 = 12; 2 X 2 = 4; 12 + 4 = 16. Here 6 is to be retained. 1 is to be carried out to left side. Step (iii) : 3 X 2 = 6. Now the carried over digit 1 of 16 is to be added. i.e., 6 + 1 = 7. Thus 32 X 24 = 768 We can write it as follows 32 24 ¯¯¯¯ 668 1 ¯¯¯¯ 768. Note that the carried over digit from the result (3X4) + (2X2) = 12+4 = 16 i.e., 1 is placed under the previous digit 3 X 2 = 6 and added. After sufficient practice, you feel no necessity of writing in this way and simply operate or perform mentally. Ex.5 28 X 35.
Step (i) : 8 X 5 = 40. 0 is
retained as the first digit of the answer and 4 is carried over.
Ex.6 Step (ii) : 2 X 5 = 10; 8 X 3 = 24; 10 + 24 = 34; add the carried over 4 to 34. Now the result is 34 + 4 = 38. Now 8 is retained as the second digit of the answer and 3 is carried over. Step (iii) : 2 X 3 = 6; add the carried over Thus 28 X 35 = 980. 48 47 ¯¯¯¯¯¯ 1606 65 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 2256
Step (i): 8 X 7 = 56; 5, the
carried over digit is placed below the second digit.
Algebraic proof :Step (ii): ( 4 X 7) + (8 X 4) = 28 + 32 = 60; 6, the carried over digit is placed below the third digit. Step (iii): Respective digits are added. a) Let the two 2 digit numbers be (ax+b) and (cx+d). Note that x = 10. Now consider the product (ax + b) (cx + d) = ac.x2 + adx + bcx + b.d = ac.x2 + (ad + bc)x + b.d Observe that
i) The first term i.e., the coefficient of x2
(i.e., 100, hence the digit in the 100th place) is obtained by
vertical multiplication of a and c i.e., the digits in 10th place
(coefficient of x) of both the numbers;
b) Consider the multiplication of two 3 digit numbers. ii) The middle term, i.e., the coefficient of x (i.e., digit in the 10th place) is obtained by cross wise multiplication of a and d; and of b and c; and the addition of the two products; iii) The last (independent of x) term is obtained by vertical multiplication of the independent terms b and d. Let the two numbers be (ax2 + bx + c) and (dx2 + ex + f). Note that x=10 Now the product is ax2 + bx + c x dx2 + ex + f ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ad.x4+bd.x3+cd.x2+ae.x3+be.x2+ce.x+af.x2+bf.x+cf = ad.x4 + (bd + ae). x3 + (cd + be + af).x2 + (ce + bf)x + cf Note the following points :
i) The coefficient of x4 , i.e., ad
is obtained by the vertical multiplication of the first coefficient from the
left side :
ii)The coefficient of x3 , i.e., (ae + bd) is
obtained by the cross –wise multiplication of the first two coefficients and by
the addition of the two products;
iii) The coefficient of x2 is obtained by
the multiplication of the first coefficient of the multiplicand (ax2+bx
+c) i.e., a; by the last coefficient of the multiplier (dx2 +ex +f)
i.e.,f ; of the middle one i.e., b of the multiplicand by the middle one i.e.,
e of the multiplier and of the last one i.e., c of the multiplicand by the
first one i.e., d of the multiplier and by the addition of all the three
products i.e., af + be +cd :
iv) The coefficient of x is obtained by the cross wise
multiplication of the second coefficient i.e., b of the multiplicand by the
third one i.e., f of the multiplier, and conversely the third coefficient i.e.,
c of the multiplicand by the second coefficient i.e., e of the multiplier and
by addition of the two products, i.e., bf + ce ;
v) And finally the last (independent of x) term is obtained
by the vertical multiplication of the last coefficients c and f i.e., cf
Thus the process can be put symbolically as (from left to right) Consider the following example 124 X 132. Proceeding from right to left
i) 4 X 2 = 8. First digit = 8
ii) (2 X 2) + (3 X 4) = 4 + 12 = 16. The digit 6 is retained and 1 is carried over to left side. Second digit = 6. iii) (1 X 2) + (2 X 3) + (1 X 4) = 2 + 6 + 4 =12. The carried over 1 of above step is added i.e., 12 + 1 = 13. Now 3 is retained and 1 is carried over to left side. Thus third digit = 3. iv) ( 1X 3 ) + ( 2 X 1 ) = 3 + 2 = 5. the carried over 1 of above step is added i.e., 5 + 1 = 6 . It is retained. Thus fourth digit = 6 v) ( 1 X 1 ) = 1. As there is no carried over number from the previous step it is retained. Thus fifth digit = 1 124 X 132 = 16368.
Let us work another problem by placing the carried over
digits under the first row and proceed.
234x 316 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 61724 1222 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 73944
i) 4 X 6 = 24 : 2, the carried over digit is placed below
the second digit.
Note : ii) (3 X 6) + (4 x 1) = 18 + 4 = 22 ; 2, the carried over digit is placed below third digit. iii) (2 X 6) + (3 X 1) + (4 X 3) = 12 + 3 + 12 = 27 ; 2, the carried over digit is placed below fourth digit. iv) (2 X 1) + ( 3 X 3) = 2 + 9 = 11; 1, the carried over digit is placed below fifth digit. v) ( 2 X 3 ) = 6. vi) Respective digits are added.
1. We can carry out the multiplication in urdhva - tiryak
process from left to right or right to left.
Example 1 : Find the product of (a+2b) and (3a+b).2. The same process can be applied even for numbers having more digits. 3. urdhva –tiryak process of multiplication can be effectively used in multiplication regarding algebraic expressions. Example 2 : 3a2 + 2a + 4 x 2a2 + 5a + 3 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
i) 4 X 3 = 12
Hence the product is 6a4 + 19a3 + 27a2 +
26a + 12 ii) (2 X 3) + ( 4 X 5 ) = 6 + 20 = 26 i.e., 26a iii) (3 X 3) + ( 2 X 5 ) + ( 4 X 2 ) = 9 + 10 + 8 = 27 i.e., 27a2 iv) (3 X 5) + ( 2 X 2 ) = 15 + 4 = 19 i.e., 19 a3 v) 3 X 2 = 6 i.e., 6a4 Example 3 : Find (3x2 + 4x + 7) (5x +6) Now 3.x2 + 4x + 7 0.x2 + 5x + 6 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
i) 7 X 6 = 42
Hence the product is 15x3 + 38x2 + 59x + 42ii) (4 X 6) + (7 X 5) = 24 + 35 = 59 i.e., 59x iii) (3 X 6) + (4 X 5) + (7 X 0) = 18 + 20 + 0 = 38 i.e., 38x2 iv) (3 X 5) + (0 X 4) = 15 + 0 = 15 i.e., 15x3 v) 3 X 0 = 0

Consider the division of (x3 + 5x2 + 3x + 7) by (x – 2) process by converse of urdhva – tiryak :
i) x3
divided by x
gives x2
. x3 + 5x2 + 3x + 7
It is the first term of the Quotient. ___________________ x – 2 Q = x2 + - - - - - - - - - - -
ii) x2 X – 2 = - 2x2 . But
5x2 in the dividend hints 7x2 more since 7x2 –
2x2 = 5x2 . This ‘more’ can be obtained from the
multiplication of x by 7x. Hence second term of Q is 7x.
x3 + 5x2 +
3x + 7 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ gives Q = x2 + 7x + - - - - - - - - x – 2 iii)We now have – 2 X 7x = -14x. But the 3rd term in the dividend is 3x for which ‘17x more’ is required since 17x – 14x =3x. Now multiplication of x by 17 gives 17x. Hence third term of quotient is 17 Thus x3 + 5x2 + 3x + 7 _________________ gives Q= x2 + 7x +17 x – 2 iv) Now last term of Q, i.e., 17 multiplied by –2 gives 17X–2 = -34 but the relevant term in dividend is 7. So 7 + 34 = 41 ‘more’ is required. As there no more terms left in dividend, 41 remains as the remainder. x3 + 5x2 + 3x + 7 ________________ gives Q= x2 + 7x +17 and R = 41. x – 2
