Squaring special numbers (5 and repeating 6's)
|
|
- Choose a number with a 5 and repeating 6's.
- The square is made up of:
- first digits: 32 & two fewer 1's than repeating 6's
- next digits: 03 & one fewer 5 than repeating 6's
- last digit: 6
|
Example:
- If the number to be squared is 5666:
- The square has:
first digits: 32 and two fewer
1's than 6's 3 2 1
next digits: 03 and one fewer
5 than 6's 0 3 5 5
last digit: 6
6
- So 5666 × 5666 = 32,103,556.
See the pattern?
- If the number to be squared is 566666:
- The square has:
first digits: 32 and two fewer
1's than 6's 3 2 1 1 1
next digits: 03 and one fewer
1 than 6's 0 3 5 5 5 5
last digit: 6
6
- So 566666 × 566666 = 321,110,355,556.
