Squaring Numbers ending in 6


To square any number ending in 6; i.e. 16, 26, 36....96...156..., first square the prior number that is ending in 5 (using the trick “squaring numbers ending in 5"), and then add the number and the prior number to it.

For example: 462 =?

The number to be squared is 46 and its prior number is 45. Finding Square of 45 is simple as it ends in ‘5’ (squaring numbers ending in 5).
