ABSTRACT: The Vedic multiplication algorithm is a very fast way of oral
calculation. However, the basis of the algorithm is not available so far. The present
paper demystifies the general Vedic algorithm for multiplication by
establishment of foundation of the Vedic algorithm of product finding through
end results of conventional multiplication. This novel approach, i.e.,
finding algorithm from the end results of conventional calculations may be
useful in devising algorithms similar to Vedic in cases of other calculations.
Though the availability of cheap calculators made the Vedic Method obsolete,
the present trend resurrected Vedic algorithms by their use in the design of
computer processors for enhancing speed and performance.
