Squaring special numbers (8 and repeating 3's)
|
|
- Choose a number with an 8 and (at least 3) repeating 3's.
- The square is made up of:
- first digits: 69 & two fewer 4's than repeating 3's
- next digits: 3 & same number of 8's as repeating 3's
- last digit: 9
|
Example:
- If the number to be squared is 8333:
- The square has:
first digits: 60 and two fewer
4's than 3's 6 9 4
next digits: 3 and same number of
8's as 3's
3 8 8 8
last digit: 9
9
- So 8333 × 8333 = 69,438,889.
See the pattern?
- If the number to be squared is 833333:
- The square has:
first digits: 69 and two fewer
4's than 3's 6 9 4 4 4
next digits: 3 and same number of
8's as 3's 3 8 8 8 8 8
last digit: 9
9
- So 833333 × 833333 = 694,443,888,889.
