Squaring special numbers (3's and final 5)
|
|
- Choose a number with repeating 3's and a final 5.
- The square is made up of:
- the same number of 1's as there are repeating 3's in the number;
- one more 2 than there are repeating 3's;
- a final 5.
|
Example:
- If the number to be squared is 3335:
- The square has:
three 1's (same as repeating 3's) 1 1 1
four 2's (one more than
repeating 3's)
2 2 2 2
a final 5
5
- So the square of 3335 is 11,122,225.
See the pattern?
- If the number to be squared is 333335:
- The square has:
five 1's (same as
repeating 3's) 1 1 1 1 1
six 2's (one more than
repeating 3's) 2
2 2 2 2 2
a final 5
5
- So the square of 333335 is 111,112,222,225.
