- Choose a 2-digit number ending in 7.
- The last digit of the answer is always 9: _ _ _ 9
- Multiply the first digit by 4 and add 4
(keep the carry): _ _ X _ - Multiply the first digit by the next consecutive number and
add the carry: the product is the first two digits:
XX _ _.
Example:
- If the number is 47:
- The last digit of the answer is 9: _ _ _ 9
- Multiply the first digit (4) by 4 and add 4
(keep the carry): 4 × 4 = 16, 16 + 4 = 20; the next
digit of the answer is 0 (keep carry 2): _ _ 0 9 - Multiply the first digit (4) by the next number (5)
and add the carry (2):
4 × 5 = 20, 20 + 2 = 22 (the first two digits): 2 2 _ _ - So 47 × 47 = 2209.
See the pattern?
- For 67 × 67
- The last digit of the answer is 9: _ _ _ 9
- Multiply the first digit (6) by 4 and add 4 (keep the
carry): 4 × 6 = 24, 24 + 4 = 28; the next digit of the
answer is 0 (keep carry 2): _ _ 8 9 - Multiply the first digit (6) by the next number (7)
and add the carry (2):
6 × 7 = 42, 42 + 2 = 44 (the first two digits): 4 4 _ _ - So 67 × 67 = 4489.
