How to Square a Number ? | Squaring Tricks | Square of a Two Digit Number

In this Method we will learn how to find a square of any two digit number in a very short span of time. 




In this we will use our basic formula but in a different way.


Take a look at the fomula for finding a square.
(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2  
 Divide the result portion into 3 parts. Consider Tens place digit as ‘a’ and Unit place digit as ‘b’ as shown. 

➤ In leftmost part we will calculate a , in the rightmost part we will calculate b2 and in the middle part we will calculate product of 2ab.

 ➤ If any of the parts whether it is middle or rightmost or both contain two digit number we will simply take carry their tens digits.

For Ex.  (41)2
Step 1 :- We will consider '4' as 'a' and '1' as 'b'
and we will calculate    
a= (4)2 =16
2ab = 2 * 4 * 1 = 8
b2 = (1)2 =1
Step 2  :- As we can see middle part and rightmost part do not contain two digit number they will be taken as it is in the Final result.


 Final Result :- 1681

For Ex.  (67)2
Step 1 :- We will consider '6' as 'a' and '7' as 'b'
and we will calculate    
a= (6)2 =36
2ab = 2 * 6 * 7 = 84 
b= (7)=49



Step 2  :- As we can see middle part and rightmost part both contain two digit numbers they will be taken carry as shown.


Final Result :- 4489.
For Ex.  (72)2
Step 1 :- We will consider '7' as 'a' and '2' as 'b'
and we will calculate    
a= (7)2 =49
2ab = 2 * 7 * 2 = 28 
b= (2)=4

Step 2  :- As we can see only middle part contains two digit number 2 will be taken carry as shown.

 Final Result :- 5184.
