Question

vinculum
Of the number 8

Answer 1

In Vedic Mathematics there exists a way to write higher numbers (6, 7, 8, 9) in terms of lower numbers (0, 1, 2, 3, 4). Why is this important? It’s important because it makes “difficult” looking multiplication problems fairly simple. This is because it is much easier to work with the lower numbers, especially in multiplication. Using this method we only need to know multiplication table up to 5 x 5. This method of writing numbers is called vinculum numbers, and results in numbers containing both positive and negative digits
