Squaring special numbers (3's and final 7)
|
|
- Choose a number with repeating 3's and a final 7.
- The square is made up of:
- the same number of 1's as there are repeating 3's in the number;
- one 3
- one fewer 5 than there are repeating 3's;
- a final 69.
|
Example:
- If the number to be squared is 3337:
- The square has:
three 1's (same as
repeating 3's) 1 1 1
one 3
3
two 5's (one fewer than
repeating 3's)
5 5
a final 69
6 9
- So the square of 3337 is 11,135,569.
See the pattern?
- If the number to be squared is 333337:
- The square has:
five 1's (same as
repeating 3's) 1 1 1 1 1
one 2
2
four 5's (one fewer than
repeating 3's)
5 5 5 5
a final 69
6 9
- So 333337 × 3333337 = 111,113,555,569.
