Squaring special numbers (4 and repeating 3's)
|
|
- Choose a number with a 4 and repeating 3's.
- The square is made up of:
- first digits: 18 & one fewer 7 than repeating 3's
- next digits: 4 & one fewer 8 than repeating 3's
- last digit: 9
|
Example:
- If the number to be squared is 4333:
- The square has:
first digits: 18 and one fewer
7 than 3's 1 8 7 7
next digits: 4 and one fewer
8 than 3's
4 8 8
last digit: 9
9
- So 4333 × 4333 = 18,774,889.
See the pattern?
- If the number to be squared is 433333:
- The square has:
first digits: 18 and one fewer
7 than 3's 1 8
7 7 7 7
next digits: 4 and one fewer
8 than 3's 4
8 8 8 8
last digit: 9
9
- So 433333 × 433333 = 187,777,488,889.
