SQUARING NUMBERS NEAR 100 (Case 2)

Here is the second part of the method of squaring a number near 100.

 Number Near and Greater than 100





Example 1: Find the square of 101.
          step 1. Find the difference of the given number and 100. That is 101 - 100 = 1.
          step 2. Since the number is greater than 100, add the result in step 1 to the given number.
       step 3. Square the result in step 1. The square of 1 is 1.
         step 4. Combine the result in step 2 and 3. The first three digits from the left will be from   
                        the result in step 2 and the other two digits will be from the result in step 3.
                 Since the result in step 3 is a one digit number, add zero (0) to make it a two digit     
                       number. The number 1 becomes 01.
                      Therefore, the square of 101 is 10,201.

           Example 2: What is the square of 109?
                      step 1. Get the difference between the number and 100. That is 109 - 100 = 9.
                      step 2. Add the result in step 1 to the given number. That is 109 + 9 = 118.
                      step 3. Square the result in step 1. The square of 9 is 81.
                      step 4. Combine the results in step 2 and 3. That is 11881. 
                      Therefore, the square of 109 is 11,881.

         Try to find the square of the following numbers:
             1. 103
             2. 105
             3. 106
             4. 107
             5. 108
