Numbers differing by 2

3. Squaring Tricks- Special Trick
Step1:Take a number.For example
, take number 29;write like this:
29
x29

4. Step 2: Add ones digit of the
lower
Number to the upper 2 digits.

5. Step3: Multiply tens digit of
the lower number to the
product got.
38
x 2
76

6. Step3:Now,multiply 10 to the
new result so formed.
76
x 10
760

7. Step4:Now,multiply ones digit
of the lower number to ones
digit of the upper number
and keep aside the
previous product. Add the
numbers.

8. Step5: the result is 841.
Using Multiplying technique
1.Take a number,e.g, 196.
2.Divide the number by 2.(98)
3.Find the square of this number
using the previous trick.
4.Then,multiply the square number
by 4

10. 5.The answer is 38416 .
Multiplication of 2 numbers
differing by 2(within 100)
1.take two numbers and
multiply them , like 24 x 26.
2.Take the middle number i.e.,25.
3.Square 25 and subtract 1 from
it.
4.(25x 25) – (1)=625-1
