We can utilize following algebraic identity to easily find square of any two digit number
A2 = (A - d) x (A + d) +
d2
Where, d = any assumed value to
easily compute square.
Naturally,
this formula works for any value of d, but we choose d to be the distance to a
number close to A that is easy to multiply. For example,
To find square of the number 23,
Let, d = 3, A = 23
So,
A2 = (A - d) x (A + d)
+ d2
= (23 - 3) x
(23 + 3) + (3)2
= 20 x 26 +
9
= 520 + 9
= 529
Another
example,
To find square of the number 48,
Let, d = 2, A = 48
So,
A2 = (A - d) x (A + d)
+ d2
= (48 - 2) x
(48 + 2) + (2)2
= 46 x 50 + 4
= 2300 + 4
= 2304
