Finding Square of a Large Number
Find 23 2
23 2 = 23 × 23
= (20 + 3) × (20 + 3)
= 20 × (20 + 3) + 3 × (20 + 3)
= 20 × 20 + 20 × 3 + 3 × 20 + 3 × 3
= 400 + 60 + 60 + 9
= 529
Find 39 2
39 2 = 39 × 39
= (40 – 1) × (40 – 1)
= 40 × (40 – 1) – 1 × (40 – 1)
= 40 × 40 + 40 × (–1) – 1 × 40 – 1 × (–1)
= 1600 – 40 – 40 + 1
= 1601 – 40 – 40
= 1601 – 80
= 1521
