Here’s an example of a SPEED MATH shortcut for MULTIPLYING NUMBERS WITH COMMON LAST DIGITS : (Mul) LDSdx from the MULTIPLICATION category.

When can I use this method?
For multiplying any 2-digit number with another 2-digit number such that the last digit of the multiplier and multiplicand are same. The first digits can be different.
For multiplying any 3-digit number with another 3-digit number such that the last digit of the multiplier and multiplicand are same. The initial 2 digits can be different.
You can also use this method to multiply numbers with unequal number of digits, i.e. multiplying a 2-digit number with a 3-digit number such that the last digit of the multiplier and multiplicand are the same.
