Squaring special numbers (2 and repeating 6's)
|
|
- Choose a number with a 2 and repeating 6's.
- The square is made up of:
- first digits: 7 & two fewer 1's than repeating 6's
- next digits: 07 & one fewer 5 than repeating 6's
- last digit: 6
|
Example:
- If the number to be squared is 2666:
- The square has:
first digits: 7 and two fewer
1's than 6's 7 1
next digits: 07 and one fewer
5 than 6's
0 7 5 5
last digit: 6
6
- So 2666 × 2666 = 7,107,556.
See the pattern?
- If the number to be squared is 266666:
- The square has:
first digits: 7 and two fewer
1's than 6's 7 1
1 1
next digits: 07 and one fewer
5 than 6's 0 7
5 5 5 5
last digit: 6
6
- So 266666 × 266666 = 71,110,755,556.
