Squaring special numbers (3's and final 6)
|
|
- Choose a number with repeating 3's and a final 6.
- The square is made up of:
- the same number of 1's as there are repeating 3's in the number;
- one 2
- one fewer 8 than there are repeating 3's;
- a final 96.
|
Example:
- If the number to be squared is 3336:
- The square has:
three 1's (same as
repeating 3's) 1 1 1
one 2
2
two 8's (one fewer than
repeating 3's)
8 8
a final 96
9 6
- So the square of 3336 is 11,128,896.
See the pattern?
- If the number to be squared is 333336:
- The square has:
five 1's (same as
repeating 3's) 1 1 1 1 1
one 2
2
four 8's (one fewer than
repeating 3's)
8 8 8 8
a final 96
9 6
- So 333336 × 3333336 = 111,112,888,896.
