Squaring special numbers (7 and repeating 6's)
|
|
- Choose a number with a 7 and repeating 6's.
- The square is made up of:
- first digits: 58 & two fewer 7's than repeating 6's
- next digits: 67 & one fewer 5 than repeating 6's
- last digit: 6
|
Example:
- If the number to be squared is 7666:
- The square has:
first digits: 58 and two fewer
7's than 6's 5 8 7
next digits: 67 and one fewer
5 than 6's
6 7 5 5
last digit: 6
6
- So 7666 × 7666 = 58,767,556.
See the pattern?
- If the number to be squared is 766666:
- The square has:
first digits: 58 and two fewer
7's than 6's 5 8
7 7 7
next digits: 67 and one fewer
5 than 6's 6 7
5 5 5 5
last digit: 6
6
- So 766666 × 766666 = 587,776,755,556.
