Quick Maths Trick for Times Tables of 55, 555, 5555

1. Find the Product with 5

Multiply the multiplier (7) of the problem by 5 to get the Product. 75 = 35 is the Product here.

2. The Number of 5s minus 1

The number 55555 has 5 fives. We'll need 5 - 1 = 4 blank spaces.

3. Find the Sum of the Product's Digits

3 + 5 = 8

Since this sum is a single digit, this is a simple scenario.

Apply The Trick

Place the two digits of the Product (35) at extreme ends and add 4 blank spaces in between.

Fill each blank with the Sum (8).

388885 is the final answer.

1. Find the Product with 5

Multiply the multiplier (19) of the problem by 5 to get the Product.

195 = 95 is the Product here.

2. The Number of 5s minus 1

The number 55555 has 5 fives, so we again insert: 5 - 1 = 4 blank spaces.

3. The Sum from the Product

9 + 5 = 14

This is a two-digit sum, so the problem becomes a complex scenario.

Apply the Trick (Right-to-Left Logic)

Place the two digits of the Product (95) at extreme ends and add 4 blank spaces in between.

Imagine the Sum (14) is placed in each blank. Start filling blanks from right to left:

• Write the unit digit of 14 (which is 4).
• Carry the tens digit (1) to the next left blank.
• Repeat this process across all blanks.

Note the logic here works from right to left.

1055545 is the final answer. Once you fully understood the trick, you can simply write down the answer directly.
