Unit digit of the square of 52748

Here we will show you two ways of finding the unit digit of the square of 52748. First, we will define what the unit digit of the square of 52748 means. Next, we will find the unit digit of the square of 52748 using the Rule Method, and then we will find the unit digit of the square of 52748 using the Math Method.

The last digit (one digit) of the product you get when you multiply 52748 by itself is the unit digit of the square of 52748.

Rule Method
The unit digit of any square will never be 2, 3, 7, or 8. It can be only 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, or 9. Furthermore, the unit digit of the square of a number depends on its units digit. In other words, the unit digit of the square of 52748 depends on 8, because that is the last digit in 52748. Here are the rules:

Rule A) If the unit digit of a number is 0, then the unit digit of the square of that number is 0.

Rule B) If the unit digit of a number is 1 or 9, then the unit digit of the square of that number is 1.

Rule C) If the unit digit of a number is 2 or 8, then the unit digit of the square of that number is 4.

Rule D) If the unit digit of a number is 5, then the unit digit of the square of that number is 5.

Rule E) If the unit digit of a number is 4 or 6, then the unit digit of the square of that number is 6.

Rule F) If the unit digit of a number is 3 or 7, then the unit digit of the square of that number is 9.

The unit digit of 52748 is 8, therefore Rule C applies, and the unit digit of the square of 52748 is 4.

Unit digit of the square of 52748 = 4

Math Method
The unit digit of the square of a number depends on its units digit with this method too. Here you multiply the unit digit of the number by itself, and then look at the unit digit of that product. Again, the unit digit of 52748 is 8, so you multiply 8 by itself, and then look at the unit digit to get the answer once again:

8 × 8 = 64
Unit digit of 64 is 4.
Unit digit of the square of 52748 = 4

Of course, instead of using either of the methods above, you can multiply 52748 by itself if you have the time or a calculator, and then identify the unit digit to get the answer to the unit digit of the square of 52748. We did that below to double-check that our answer is correct:

52748 × 52748 = 2782351504
Unit digit of 2782351504 is 4.
Unit digit of the square of 52748 = 4
