If you get your squares and roots mixed up, keep in mind that squaring a number is as simple as multiplication by itself.It's important to know how to convert single digits to larger numbers.You can find the squares of the numerator and denominator.Cut or simplify the result.
Step 1: Basic multiplication can be learned.
It is important to know how to multiply when you square a number.It is easier to square commonly used single digits if you memorize basic times tables.You can learn how to add up single digit times tables.
Step 2: Take the single digit number and divide it by itself.
Write down the number that you want to square.When you're squaring a number, use the same number instead of 2.52displaystyle 52 is not 5 x 2.5 x 5 is 25.
Step 3: There are other terms for squaring a number.
If you read word problems that ask you to square a number, you may also be asked to raise the number to the 2 power or factor.It's another way of asking you to square the number.A problem may be written as 62.This is one of the ways of asking you to square 6.
Step 4: There is a difference between squaring and finding the square root.
It's easy to mix up these terms, but remember that squaring a number is not the same as finding the square root.The number that can be multiplied by itself to get the number in the square is what you are looking for.For example, 92displaystyle 92 means 9 x 9 is 81 and 9 is 3 because it is equal to 9.
Step 5: The problem should be written out.
If you rewrite the problem as a double digit multiplication problem, you can find the square of a number with more than 1 digit.The number should be written on top of itself.To do 242, write 24 x 24.
Step 6: Place the number on the bottom by the 1 directly above it.
Place the result below the numbers and write a line below it.4 by 4 is used to get 16 with 24 x 24.Carry the 1 above the top tens number by writing a 6 below the ones space.
Step 7: The bottom ones should be placed by the top tens number.
Take the same number on the bottom and add it to the top number.The result should be written below the line if you add the number you carried.Take 24 x 24 and add 4 by 2 to make 1The result below the line should be 96.
Step 8: If you put a 0 under the result, you can add the bottom tens number to the top ones.
The 0 will be used as a starting point.Write the result of taking the bottom tens number and adding it to the top ones number.The example is 24 x 24.You should see 80 below the 96.
Step 9: Take the bottom tens number and add it to the top tens.
If you have any numbers, add them to your result.The result should be written below the line.2 by 2 is used to get 4.The result should be 480.
Step 10: To get your answer, add the 2 results.
You will have more lines to add together if you add a number with 3 or more digits.You can show the square of the number by writing the answer in your results.You can add 96 and 480 to get the answer.There is a display style called 242.
Step 11: Square the numerator.
To find its square, divide the top number of the fraction by itself.Place the fraction line below the result.You would divide 8 by 8 to get a numerator of 64.
Step 12: The denominator is square.
Take the bottom number and divide it by itself.Below the fraction line, write the result of this square.To get a denominator of 4, divide 2 by 2.
Step 13: The result should be simpler.
Most directions will tell you to simplify or reduce the result if you leave the fraction large or improper.If you have an improper fraction, turn it into a mixed number.It can be simplified to 16 because 4 goes into 64 16 times.
