Squaring special numbers (6's and final 9)
|
|
- Choose a number with repeating 6's and a final 9.
- The square is made up of:
- the same number of 4's as there are repeating 6's;
- a 7
- one fewer 5 than there are repeating 6's;
- A final 61.
|
Example:
- If the number to be squared is 6669:
- The square has:
same number of 4's as repeating 6's: 4 4 4
a 7 7
one fewer 5 than repeating 6's 5 5
a final 61 6 1
- So the square of 6669 is 44,475,561.
See the pattern?
- If the number to be squared is 666669:
- The square has:
same number of 4's as 6's: 4 4 4 4 4
a 7 7
one fewer 5 than repeating 6's 5 5 5 5
a final 61 6 1
- So 666,669 × 666,669 = 44,447,555,561.
