Squaring numbers made up of 6s

Squaring numbers made up of sixes
  1. Choose a a number made up of sixes.
  2. The square is made up of:
    1. one fewer 4 than there are repeating 6's
    2. 3
    3. same number of 5's as 4's
    4. 6

Example:

  1. If the number to be squared is 666
  2. The square of the number has:
    4's (one less than digits in number) 4 4
    3 3
    5's (same number as 4's) 5 5
    6 6
  3. So 666 × 3666333 = 443556.
