Squaring special numbers (4 and repeating 6's)
|
|
- Choose a number with a 4 and repeating 6's.
- The square is made up of:
- first digits: 21 & one fewer 7 than repeating 6's
- next digits: 1 & one fewer 5 than repeating 6's
- last digit: 6
|
Example:
- If the number to be squared is 4666:
- The square has:
first digits: 21 and one fewer
7 than 6's 2 1 7 7
next digits: 1 and one fewer
5 than 6's
1 5 5
last digit: 6
6
- So 4666 × 4666 = 21,771,556.
See the pattern?
- If the number to be squared is 466666:
- The square has:
first digits: 21 and one fewer
7 than 6's 2 1
7 7 7 7
next digits: 1 and one fewer
5 than 6's 1
5 5 5 5
last digit: 6
6
- So 466666 × 466666 = 217,777,155,556.
