Sum of the digits of 111111111^2

This is a fun trick shortcut to finding the sum of the digits of the square of a number with omly 1 as digits.

Lol. I was waiting for the train to pass. I clipped that part out.

You should not have clipped that. It was funny and interesting at the same time.

Happy New Year from Birmingham England. Last year I put on puzzle evenings in a local bar. Mainly mathematical and logical problems - although I had to put in a couple of word puzzles! Your videos inspired me! You make maths fun! I did it too, but not as well as you! This puzzle would have been great!

[@jpl569]

Very nice « brute force » explanation !! I love it ! Maybe you will like the « pure algebra » approach : Let X = 111…1 with n digits, then X = ∑ 10^j for 0 ≤ j ≤ n-1. And X^2 = ∑ 10^j 10^k for 0 ≤ j ≤ n-1 and 0 ≤ k ≤ n-1. Just count the number of powers of 10 in X^2 (including 10^0) : there are exactly n^2. This is also the sum of all digits in X^2 ! Thanks for your interesting videos. 😊

[@jpl569]

An other way is to define P (t) = ∑ t^k for 0 ≤ k ≤ n-1, and S (X) as the sum of the digits of X. Then evidently X = P (10), and S (X) = P (1) = n. So : X^2 = P^2 (10), and S (X^2) = P^2 (1) = n^2. And : for all q € N, X^q = P^q (10), and S (X^q) = P^q (1) = n^q. 🙂

[@zanti4132]

When you multiply 111,111,111 by 111,111,111, you know each row will be 111111111, for which the sum of the digits add up to 9, and there will be nine rows. So, 9 × 9 = 81. The only detail to consider in whether the calculation ever requires a carry, but with there being nine rows and with each digit never being larger than 1, it's clear carrying will never come into play. So 81 has to be the answer.

[@njugunawanyoike146]

Genius approach there. I believe all challenging math problems always has a hidden pattern that should be determined to solve the problem. That the beauty of math.

[@srisaishravan5512]

Thanks for uploading sir! Your videos are the best

[@hazevthewolf178]

As a railfan, I love how you patiently wait for the passing train to go by. Yes, rep-unit numbers can be rather interesting. For fun, a little algebra... n(n + 1) / 2 + n(n - 1) / 2 = (n / 2)((n +1) + (n - 1)) = 2n(n / 2) = n^2

[@wisdomokoro8898]

I did that mentally 😅

[@jay_13875]

Write the number k=111111111 as p(x) = 1+x+x^2+...+x^8 evaluated at x = 10. Note that the sum of digits of k is p(1)=9. Then k^2 is p(x)^2 evaluated at x=10. As long as all the coefficients of the expanded polynomial p(x)^2 are less than 10, we can find the sum of digits of k^2 by evaluating p(1)^2 = 9^2 = 81.

Recreational math is fun. I thought of a problem a couple months or so ago that is the type that you do on this channel. Find N such that N+1 is a square and 2N+1 is a square. If you're up to it. Happy New Year.

Weird things begin to happen when there are 10+ digits multiplied. It start to lose eights, and symmetry from right side shifts

At least once you say "number" when "digit" is more accurrate. Your videos are so instructive that I check for new lessons nearly every day.

Great video, But every time I see a cool new trick I want to learn why does it work ? And I believe this one is easy to show, let's say A=1....1 has n+1 digits with 1

[@kragiharp]

Hi! I read a book a long time ago: Vedic Mathematics. There every calculation is checked by doing the exact calculation of the problem with the sum of the digits. You have to get the same answer. So I just count the 1s -> 9. 9^2 = 81. Finished. Although I have never seen a proof that this method always is correct. In case someone knows, please tell me. ❤️🙏

[@bjorntorlarsson]

Perhaps not in your taste, but I'd suggest that you do more "mental arithmetics". Going for the primes 7 up. How come the inverse of each prime 7 and larger have a repeating sequence of digitals the length of which is one less than the prime? (Except for 13, unless as if by coincident the other half of the twelve digits happens to be the same as the first half). That the digits of an inverse prime add up to 9's is of course the clue. It has to do with the base ten, doesn't it? 1/7=0.142857... and first half of it plus the second half is 142+857=999. Same for the inverse of ALL primes, if we forget about the very broken figures 2, 3, 5.

Sum of digits 111111111^2=81 final answer 111111111^2=12345678987654321 It’s in my head.

[@alphazero339]

Ye we know everythings in ur ass

[@DavyCDiamondback]

Easier! For 1.....1 * 1.....1 for m and n digits, the sum of the digits is m *n for m < 10 or n < 10 (clearly, you have a rectangle of 1s to add up)... So the answer is 81

[@Ijkbeauty]

we get it bro its in your head

[@artandata]

more about the ten one digits square number 111111111^2 * surprisingly the sum of digits is 82 that means only one unit more than 9^2 * number of divisors is 81, one less of its sum of digits * can be factorized as 11^2 × 41^2 × 271^2 × 9091^2 * and of course is a perfect square Have a Nice & Happy New Year ! (for you and the community. regards from Brazil)

[@HeckYeahRyan]

i remember playing with my calculator and seeing a pattern by doing 11^2 or 1111^2 and i realised each digit will just be counting from 1 to the number of ones and then counting back so 111111111^2=12345678987654321

[@itsphoenixingtime]

i remember that fact about 111,111,111 x 111,111,111 =12345678987654321 Then you can pair all the digits up adding to 9, get 9 9's and that's 81.

[@ishantagarwal1082]

Happy new year, Newton! Btw, did you know that 2025 is the summation of n³ upto n=9? 2025 = 45² = (1+2+3+...+9)²=(1³+2³+3³+...+9³) That means the next time this will occur will be the year 3025, a thousand years from now!

If you go above 9 digits then the sum of digits is 81+(n-9)^2 where n is the number of digits

[@zanti4132]

@@vnms- That's only true for 10 ≤ n ≤ 18. For 19 ≤ n ≤ 27, the formula is 162 + (n - 18)². You can generalize this for any n > 0 as: Let k = f{n/9}, where f{x} denotes the largest integer < x. Then the formula is: 81k + (n - 9k)²

Mm,i tried... As usual , like using the Taylor series or Maclaurian series. Sin(x) =x, when x approaches zero. And since x is small, sin(x) ! Must be small.
