5000*50=250000 ! 5000*1=5000.
300*50= 15000 ! 300*1= 300.
50*50= 2500 ! 50*1= 50.
8*50= 400 ! 8*1= 8.
--------- -------
267900 + 5358 =273258.

(5358 * 100)/2 + (1 * 5358).

EXP: 51 = (50 + 1) = (100/2 + 1).
Therefore, 535800/2 = 267900.
1 * 5358 = 5358.
267900 + 5358 = 273258.

5358*51

Just multiply by 50 and add that number one more time.

Base for 50 is 100:

For to multiply by 50 just divide the number by 2 and add two zero at last if number is even.

Given number is even number just divide that number by 2

5358/2=2679

Add two zero at last (because base is 100) 267900

267900+5358=273258

1.5358
5+3+5+8=21
2+1=3........(a)
2.5+1=6.....(b)
now
a*b
ie 3*6=18
1+8=9..........(rhs)
now come to lhs
2+7+3+2+5+8=27
2+7=9.....(lhs)
now
rhs=lhs
9=9
so ans is 273258

5358 (10*5+1) =53580*5+5358=267900+5358=273258.

This is simplest method I hope you got.
