Squaring Numbers Ending in 5

One of the most famous Vedic shortcuts — square any "n5" instantly

The Rule

  1. 1Only works for numbers ending in 5.
  2. 2Take the leading part (everything except the final 5).
  3. 3Multiply that leading part by one more than itself.
  4. 4Write 25 right after that result — that's the answer.
