Edit:

I missed the second "add the last 4 digits"

It works with any set of two numbers where the first number is 3 digits and the second number is 4 digits. You didn't do it right.

It's nothing fancy. Anyone who can do algebra can proof that

Let first three digits of your phone number be x
And last 4 digits of your phone number be y

So that your phone number is actually 10000*x + y
Say your number is 123 4567
123 * 10000 + 4567 = 1234567

Now the formula:

"Take first 3 digits multiply by 80, add 1 then times the result by 250, add last 4 digits 2 times, minus result by 250 and divide the result by 2" can be written as follows:

[(80x + 1)*250 +2y - 250] / 2

= [20000 x + 250 + 2y - 250] / 2
=(20000x + 2y) / 2
= 10000x + y
= your original phone number

These tricks can be formulated with any set of numbers easily if you spend a little time on formulating them.

Too bad you have no English skills

this is retarded. anyone can come up with a math like this.

multiply by 80
add 2
multiply by 250
add the last 4 digits of your phone number
add the last 4 digits again
subtract 500
divide by 2

or

multiply by 160
add 2
multiply by 500
add the last 4 digits of your phone number 8 times
subtract 1000
divide by 8

or take the first 3 numbers, multiply by 100, multiply by 100 again, add the last 4

Ok, I did it. I got 20137.5. Whats your point?

that means you suck at math or can not operate a calculator correctly

I kinda figured you got your phone number again. But yea I accidently skipped a step lol.

all these calculation 'tricks' are stupid. somewhere somehow in the process you entered the whole phone number yourself. the rest of the math cancels everything else out.

go back to grade school, kids
