Find Square of any number within 10 seconds

Today i am going to share an interesting vedic maths trick. At first you will find it difficult but with practice, you will be able to find square of any number within 10 seconds.

Square numbers ending in 25

325² = 105625

Step 1. 325 = 3_25 => 3

Step 2. Square the number from Step 1: 3² = 9

Step 3. Divide the number from Step 1 by 2: 3/2 =1.5

Step 4. Add Step 2 and Step 3 : 9 + 1.5 = 10.5

Step 5. Multiply the number from Step 4 by 10: 10.5 * 10 =105

Step 6. Write the number 625 next to the result from Step 5: 105_625 = 105625

Square numbers between 90 and 109

# Above 100

103² = 10609

Step 1. Add the number to the ones digit: 
103 + 3 = 106

Step 2. Square the ones digit number ( if the result is a single digit put a 0 in front of it): 
3² = 09

Step 3. Place the result from Step 2 next to the result from Step 1 : 10609

# Below 100

97² = 9409

Step 1. Subtract the number from 100: 100- 97 = 3

Step 2. Subtract the number ( from Step 1) from original number : 97-3 =94

Step 3. Square the result from Step 1 ( if the result is a single digit put a 0 in front of it) : 3² = 09

Step 4. Place the result from Step 3 next to the result from Step 2: 9409

Square numbers between 40 and 59

# Below 50

48² = 2304

Step 1 . Subtract the number from 50: 50-48=2

Step 2 . Subtract the result ( from Step 1 ) from 25: 25-2 =23

Step 3 . Square the result from Step 1 ( if the result is a single digit put a 0 in front of it ) : 2² = 04

Step 4 . Place the result from Step 3 next to the result from Step 2 : 2304

# Above 50

53² = 2809

Step 1. Add 25 to the ones digit: 25 + 3 = 28

Step 2. Square the ones digit number ( if the result is a single digit put a 0 in front of it ) : 3² = 09

Step 3. Place the result from Step 2 next to the result from Step 1 : 2809

Square numbers ending in 5

35² = 1225

Step 1. Multiply the first digit by the first digit plus one: 3 * ( 3 + 1 ) = 12

Step 2. Write the numbers 25 next to the result from Step 1 : 1225

Square numbers between 10 and 19

14² = 196

Step 1: Add the number to the ones digit : 14 + 4 = 18

Step 2: Multiply the number from Step 1 by 10: 18 *10 = 180
