Calculation wheels: explained simply

Each section of a calculation wheel has a matching inner and outer number. The number in the centre applies to the whole wheel.

How to work it out

  • Inner number · centre number = outer number.
  • If the inner number is missing, divide the outer number by the centre number. To discover the centre, divide outer by inner in a complete pair.

An example, step by step

The centre is 5 and the inner number is 3. What goes outside?

  1. The centre number 5 tells you to multiply every inner number by 5.
  2. Calculate 3 · 5 = 15. Write 15 outside.
  3. Check backwards: 15 : 5 = 3.

Understand other variations

Discover the centre

Inner 4 and outer 24 reveal the centre: 24 : 4 = 6. Check 6 against the second complete pair too.

Your turn

Centre 6, outer number 42: which inner number is missing?

Show the answer and method

42 : 6 = 7. Check: 7 · 6 = 42.
