Squaring special numbers (1 and repeating 3's)
|
|
- Choose a number with a 1 and repeating 3's.
- The square is made up of:
- first digits: 1 & one fewer 7 than repeating 3's
- next digits: 6 & one fewer 8 than repeating 3's
- last digit: 9
|
Example:
- If the number to be squared is 1333:
- The square has:
first digits: 1 and one fewer
7 than 3's 1
7 7
next digits: 6 and one fewer
8 than 3's
6 8 8
last digit: 9
9
- So 1333 × 1333 = 1776889.
See the pattern?
- If the number to be squared is 133333:
- The square has:
first digits: 1 and one fewer
7 than 3's 1
7 7 7 7
next digits: 6 and one fewer
8 than 3's 6
8 8 8 8
last digit: 9
9
- So 133333 × 133333 = 17777688889.
