Squaring special numbers (9 and repeating 3's)
|
|
- Choose a number with a 9 and repeating 3's (use at least three 3's).
- The square is made up of:
- first digits: 87 & two fewer 1's than repeating 3's
- next digits: 04 & one fewer 8 than repeating 3's
- last digit: 9
|
Example:
- If the number to be squared is 9333:
- The square has:
first digits: 87 and two fewer
1's than 3's 8 7 1
next digits: 04 and one fewer
8 than 4's
0 4 8 8
last digit: 9
9
- So 9333 × 9333 = 87,104,889.
See the pattern?
- If the number to be squared is 933333:
- The square has:
first digits: 87 and two fewer
1's than 3's 8 7
1 1 1
next digits: 04 and one fewer
8 than 3's 0 4
8 8 8 8
last digit: 9
9
- So 933333 × 933333 = 871,110,488,889.
