Using a Formula (a²)

In this method, the formula a² is used to find the square of the number. Where a is the number.

 

Step 1: Understanding the equation Square of a number = a²

a² = a × a

 

Step 2: Identifying the number and substituting the value in the equation.

 

Here, ‘a’ is 656. So: 656² = 656 × 656 = 430,336
