Squaring special numbers (3's and final 1)
|
|
- Choose a number with repeating 3's and a final 1.
- The square is made up of:
- One fewer 1 than there are repeating 3's
- 09
- The same number of 5's as there are 1's in the square;
- A final 61
|
Example:
- If the number to be squared is 3331:
- The square has:
Two 1's (one fewer than
repeating 3's) 1
1
Next digits: 09 0 9
Two 5's (same as 1's in square) 5 5
A final 61
6 1
- So the square of 3331 is 11,095,561.
See the pattern?
- If the number to be squared is 333331:
- The square has:
Four 1's (one fewer than
repeating 3's) 1 1 1 1
Next digits: 09 0 9
Four 5's (same as 1's in square) 5 5 5 5
A final 61
6 1
- So the square of 333331 is 111,109,555,561.
