# Study the pattern 1 multiply 8 plus 1 is equal to 9 1234 multiply 8 plus 4 is equal to 9876

Study the pattern :
1 $\dpi{100} \times$ 8 + 1 = 9                       1234 $\dpi{100} \times$ 8 + 4 = 9876
12 $\dpi{100} \times$ 8 + 2 = 98                   12345 $\dpi{100} \times$ 8 + 5 = 98765
123 $\dpi{100} \times$ 8 + 3 = 987
Write the next two steps. Can you say how the pattern works?
(Hint: 12345 = 11111 + 1111 + 111 + 11 + 1).

123456 $\dpi{100} \times$ 8 + 6 = 987648 + 6 = 987654

1234567 $\dpi{100} \times$ 8 + 7 = 9876536 + 7 = 9876543

Yes, the pattern works.

As 123456 = 111111 + 11111 + 1111 + 111 + 11 + 1,

123456 $\dpi{100} \times$ 8 = (111111 + 11111 + 1111 + 111 + 11 + 1) $\dpi{100} \times$ 8

= 111111 $\dpi{100} \times$ 8 + 11111 $\dpi{100} \times$ 8 + 1111 $\dpi{100} \times$ 8 + 111 $\dpi{100} \times$ 8 + 11 $\dpi{100} \times$ 8 + 1  $\dpi{100} \times$8

= 888888 + 88888 + 8888 + 888 + 88 + 8

= 987648

And,

123456 $\dpi{100} \times$ 8 + 6 = 987648 + 6 = 987648
