Math Shortcuts

Hello, esteemed 4chaners.  Do you have any math shortcuts that you would like to share?

For instance:

To multiply a 2-digit number by 11, take the sum of its digits. If it's a single digit number, just write it between the two digits. If the sum is 10 or more, do not forget to carry 1 over.
For example, 34x11=374 since 3+4=7. 47x11=517 since 4+7=11.

1+1=2.

Shortcut: If you have one apple, and you have another apple, how many apples do you have?


I learned this one in first grade.
