although the calculation may seem magical, if u give thought to it
you are multiplying the 1st 6 digits of ur mobile phone with 10000 so get the extra 0000s where u add the last 4 digits of ur number!
Here goes the explanation
250*80 = 20000 which u divide by 2 to get 10000
u add the last 4 digits twice and then divide by 2 to get the original last 4 digits
the add 1 and sub 250 is just to make it snd more reasonable
u add one then multiply with 250 so u have 250 extra which u subtract just before dividing by 2.
