Squaring special numbers (6's and final 2)
|
|
- Choose a number with repeating 6's and a final 2.
- The square is made up of:
- one fewer 4 than there are repeating 6's
- 38
- same number of 2's as 4's in the square
- a final 44
|
Example:
- If the number to be squared is 6662:
- The square has:
two 4's (one fewer than
repeating 6's) 4
4
Next digits: 38 3 8
two 2's (same number as repeating 6's) 2 2
A final 44 4 4
- So the square of 6662 is 44,382,244.
See the pattern?
- If the number to be squared is 666662:
- The square has:
four 4's (one fewer than
repeating 6's) 4
4 4 4
Next digits: 38 3 8
four 2's (same as repeating 6's) 2 2 2 2
A final 44 4 4
- So the square of 666662 is 444,438,222,244.
