Everyone carry's a calculator around with them, seeing as the majority of phones have a calculator built in.

Subtract 1 from it.

So basically, this calculated my 7 digit phone number! And all I inputted was the first 3 digits of my phone number, followed by the last 4 digits! :eek:

I found a faster way though:
1. Grab a calculator
2. Type your mobile number into it

All you're doing is multiplying your first 3 digits by 10,000 and adding the last 4 which gives you the number only it's fiddled with be more drawn out and complicated.

Maths iz awesems.
