<h3><strong>When  can I use this method?</strong></h3>
<p>For cubing numbers near 10.</p>
<p>The number can be either &lt; or &gt; 10.</p>
<p>One can use this method to cube numbers away from 10 as long as it is comfortable to cube the difference portions.</p>

<h3><strong>Notes –</strong></h3>
<ol>
<li> This method uses the concept (10 + a)3 = [(10 + 3a) 102] + [(3a2) 10] + [a3], where ‘(10 + a)’ is the number near 10 and ‘a’ is the difference.</li>
<li>Whenever the number is more than 10, the difference is written as positive (+ve).</li>
<li>Whenever the number is less than 10, the difference is written as negative (-ve).</li>

<h3><strong>Notes –</strong></h3>
<ol>
<li>Notice the way the common digits are added.</li>
<li>When multiplying 4-digit numbers with common last digit, remember to write the RHS of the answer in 2-digit form by prefixing a zero, if the value is single digit, e.g. write ‘9’ as ‘09’.</li>
<li>When multiplying 5-digit numbers with last 2 digits common, remember to write the RHS of the answer in 4-digit form by prefixing zero(s), if the value is less than 4-digit, e.g. write ‘9’ as ‘0009’ or ‘21’ as ‘0021’ or ‘121’ as ‘0121’.</li>

<h3><strong>Notes –</strong></h3>
<ol>
<li>Make sure to check out <a title="Seed Number Concept" href="http://www.lazymaths.com/speed-math/seed-number-concept/" target="_self"><strong>SEED NUMBER CONCEPT</strong></a> to understand how Seed numbers are calculated.</li>
<li>Any time you come across a      seed number values greater than 1-digit, reduce it to a single digit value      using the seed number concept.</li>
<li>Any time you come across a      negative (-ve) seed number; add 9 to it to get is positive (+ve) value. Do      the same if the seed number is = 0.</li>
<li>It is the fastest and      easiest way to verify your answers.</li>

<h3>Notes –</h3>
<ol>
<li>When selecting a Base      number, prefer a number that is near the number to be squared as well as      it should be easy to multiply with (prefer round numbers).</li>
<li>This method uses the      concept (B + a)<sup>2</sup> = [(B + a) + a] + a<sup>2</sup>, where ‘(B +      a)’ is the  number to be squared,      ‘B’ is the Base number and ‘a’ is the difference.</li>
<li>Whenever the number is      more than the Base number, the difference is written as positive (+ve).</li>
<li>Whenever the number is      less than Base Number, the difference is written as negative (-ve).</li>
<li>This method is a corollary      to the Multiplication method <a title="Multiplying 2-digit Numbers near a Base Number" href="http://www.lazymaths.com/category/speed-math/multiplication/multiplying-2-digit-numbers-near-a-base-number/" target="_self">NrB2</a></li>

<h3><strong>When  can I use this method?</strong></h3>
<p>For squaring numbers near 500.</p>
<p>The number can be either &lt; or &gt; 500.</p>
<p>One can use this method to square numbers away from 500 as long as it is comfortable to square the difference portions.</p>

<h3>Notes –</h3>
<ol>
<li>This method uses the concept      (500 + a)<sup>2</sup> = [(250 + a) 100] + a<sup>2</sup>, where ‘(500 + a)’ is      the number near 500 and ‘a’ is difference.</li>
<li>Whenever the number is      more than 500, the difference is written as positive (+ve).</li>
<li>Whenever the number is      less than 500, the difference is written as negative (-ve).</li>
</ol>

<h3><strong>Notes –</strong></h3>
<ol>
<li> This method uses the concept (10 + a)3 = [(10 + 3a) 102] + [(3a2) 10] + [a3], where ‘(10 + a)’ is the number near 10 and ‘a’ is the difference.</li>
<li>Whenever the number is more than 10, the difference is written as positive (+ve).</li>
<li>Whenever the number is less than 10, the difference is written as negative (-ve).</li>

<p>Simply observe that since all the terms in the numerator are positive, simplifying the numerator will also give all positive terms.</p>
<p>The denominator has a negative sign. However, the process of rationalization would require its conjugate to be multiplied to result in a rational number in the denominator. This conjugate multiplier will have positive terms. Hence, when it multiplies with the all positive term numerator, we will get a product in the numerator with all positive terms. The only option that has all positive terms in the numerator is option ‘5’.</p>
