Have you felt that squaring a number is the tedious process? Well, not at least for numbers ending with 5. Here I present a simple trick which helps you calculate the squares of 2 digit and 3 digit numbers ending with 5 within seconds. Let's get into the trick!!
Let's start with easy number 15 all of you know the square of 15 is 225.
Here 15 has two digits which are 1 and 5
There are three simple steps in this trick
Step 1:
Add 1 to number apart from last digit 5 here it is 1.
1+1=2
Step 2:
Now multiply 1 with the result 2
1*2=2
Step 3:
Now we know 52 =25
Just attach the number obtained in step 2 with 25 which is 225
And it's done!
For clear understanding let's take another example
75
Step 1:
7+1=8
Step 2:
7*8=56
Step 3:
Attach 56 with 25 which is 5625
752 =5625
Very Simple right and you can use this principle for all numbers ending with 5
Let's take a 3 digit number 105
Step 1:
10+1=11
Step 2:
10*11=110
Step 3:
Attach 110 with 25 which is 11025
1052=11025
I hope the concept is clear by now, Ask me if you have doubts.
Happy Learning!
