To find quickly square of numbers from 501 to 531
1) Add difference from 500 to 250. The addition will form 3 leftmost digits of the square.
2) Square the difference of the number from 500. i.e. subtract 500 from the number & square the difference. This will form next and last three numbers from the square.
If this square is not a three digit number you have to write zero/s to its left to make this square a three digit number.
To make it more clear there are two cases:
a) If the square is a one digit number, you have to put two zeros beofe the square. Ex. 502^2 ---> 2^2 = 004
b) If the square is a two digit number you have to put zero before the square. ex. 505^2 ---> 5^2 = 025
c) If the square of the answer is a 3 digit number (difference from 500 is from 10 to 31) 512^2 --> 12^2 = 144 keep the square as it is.
3) To the right of the number obtained in step 1) , write number obtained in step 2) to get your answer. I mean this is required square of the three digit number from 501 to 531.
4) In above examples,
502^2= 252,004
505^2 = 255,025
512^2 = 262,144.
I think the trick is clear.
