Squaring special numbers (6's and final 4)
|
|
- Choose a number with repeating 6's and a final 4.
- The square is made up of:
- the same number of 4's as repeating 6's
- 0
- one fewer 8 than repeating 6's
- a final 96
|
Example:
- If the number to be squared is 6664:
- The square has:
three 4's (same number as
repeating 6's) 4
4 4
next digit: 38 0
two 8's (one fewer than repeating 6's) 8 8
a final 96 9 6
- So the square of 6664 is 44,408,896.
See the pattern?
- If the number to be squared is 666664:
- The square has:
five 4's (same number as
repeating 6's) 4
4 4 4 4
next digit: 0 0
four 8's (one fewer than
repeating 6's) 8 8 8 8
a final 96 9 6
- So the square of 666664 is 444,440,888,896.
