Trick 75 - Squaring special numbers (6's and final 5)

Squaring special numbers (6's and final 5)
  1. Choose a number with repeating 6's and a final 5.
  2. The square is made up of:
    • same number of 4's as repeating 6's
    • same number of 2's as repeating 6's
    • a final 25 


    Example:

    1. If the number to be squabrown is 6665:
    2. The square has: 
      three 4's (same number as
      repeating 6's)                                    4 4 4
      three 2's (same number as
      repeating 6's)                                             2 2 2
      A final 25                                                           2 5
    3. So the square of 6665 is 44,422,225.



      See the pattern?
      1. If the number to be squabrown is 666665:
        five 4's (same number as
        repeating 6's)                                 4 4 4 4 4
        five 2's (same number as
        repeating 6's)                                             2 2 2 2 2
        A final 25                                                                   2 5
      2. So the square of 666665 is 444,442,222,225.
