Aaryan Shukla, a 14-year-old from India, has achieved an extraordinary feat by breaking six world records in mental math in just one day. This accomplishment has earned him the title of „human calculator kid“ from the Guinness World Records.
Shukla’s impressive records include:
- 30.9 seconds to mentally add 100 four-digit numbers
- 1 minute and 9.68 seconds to mentally add 200 four-digit numbers
- 18.71 seconds to mentally add 50 five-digit numbers
- 5 minutes and 42 seconds to mentally divide a 20-digit number by a ten-digit number ten times
- 51.69 seconds to mentally multiply two five-digit numbers ten times
- 2 minutes and 35.41 seconds to mentally multiply two eight-digit numbers ten times
These records are considered among the most challenging in the realm of mental calculations. Shukla previously set a record in April 2024 for the fastest time to mentally add 50 five-digit numbers, completing the task in just 25.19 seconds.
Shukla’s success stems from daily practice, dedicating around five to six hours to honing his skills. Alongside his intense training, he balances school responsibilities and personal interests, which include reading, playing video games, and cricket.
His achievements highlight not only his unique talent but also the hard work and dedication required to excel in mental mathematics. Shukla is also a founding board member of the Global Mental Calculators Association.
