Squaring a 2-digit number ending in 1
1. Take a 2-digit number ending in 1.
2. Subtract 1 from the number.
3. Square the difference.
4. Add the difference twice to its square.
5. Add 1.
Example:
1. If the number is 41, subtract 1: 41 - 1 = 40.
2. 40 × 40 = 1600 (square the difference).
3. 1600 + 40 + 40 = 1680 (add the difference twice
to its square).
4. 1680 + 1 = 1681 (add 1).
5. So 41 × 41 = 1681.
See the pattern?
For 81 x 81, so 81 – 1 = 80.
80 x 80 = 6400
6400 + 80+80 = 6560
6560+ 1 = 6561
