This document describes how to multiply 78 x 73 using Vedic math techniques in 5 seconds. It explains that you take the base of 10 x 8 = 80 since 78 and 73 are closer to 80. Then you calculate 78 - 2 and 73 - 7 relative to the base of 80. You multiply -2 x -7 to get 4 with a carry of 1. Then you cross add 78 - 7 to get 71 and multiply 71 by 8, the base, to get 568. Adding the carried 1 gives the final answer of 5694.
