The Best Mental Math Tricks (2015)
Can you multiply 35×35 in your head? That is, can you square the number 35? There’s a mental math trick so that you can easily square any number ending in 5. Here’s how the trick works.Look at the first digit of 35, which is the number 3. We add one to that number, 4, and then multiply those two numbers together. So we have 3×4 = 12, and these are the leading digits of the answer. Now we just write 25 as the last two digits, so we get 1225. And that’s it!
