Squaring special numbers (6's and final 7)
|
|
- Choose a number with repeating 6's and a final 7.
- The square is made up of:
- The same number of 4's as there are digits in the number;
- One fewer 8;
- A final 9.
|
Example:
- If the number to be squared is 6667:
- The square has:
four 4's (number of digits
in number)
4 4 4 4
three 8's (one fewer) 8 8 8
a final 9
9
- So the square of 6667 is 44448889.
See the pattern?
- If the number to be squared is 667:
- The square has:
three 4's 4 4 4
two 8's 8 8
a final 9 9
- So the square of 667 is 444889.
