Squaring numbers made up of 6's
|
|
- Choose a a number made up of sixes.
- The square is made up of:
- one fewer 4 than there are repeating 6's
- 3
- same number of 5's as 4's
- 6
|
Example:
- If the number to be squared is 666
- The square of the number has:
4's (one less than digits
in number) 4
4
3 3
5's (same number as 4's) 5 5
6 6
- So 666 × 3666333 = 443556.
See the pattern?
- If the number to be squared is 66666
- The square of the number has:
4's (one less than digits
in number) 4
4 4 4
3 3
5's (same number as 4's) 5
5 5 5
6 6
- So 66666 × 66666 = 4444355556.
