Table of squares of numbers from 1 to 100

The square of a number is that number raised to the second power, that is, multiplied by itself: n² = n × n. For example, 7² = 7 × 7 = 49. The table of squares helps you quickly find the result of squaring and solve problems in algebra, geometry, and physics.

How to read the table: find a number in any block — its square is shown next to it. For example, 12² = 144, 25² = 625, 99² = 9801.

Examples of using the table of squares

Example 1. Find 16²

Find the number 16 in the table — its square is 256.

Answer: 16² = 256.

Example 2. Find 43²

In the table we see: 43² = 1849.

Answer: 43² = 1849.

Example 3. Find 87²

In the table: 87² = 7569.

Answer: 87² = 7569.

Why the table of squares is needed

  • It allows you to quickly find the squares of numbers without a calculator.
  • It is used to solve equations, problems on area, and the Pythagorean theorem.
  • It helps when working with square roots: using the table, you can find which number squared equals a given value.
  • It saves time on exams and tests.
  • It trains memory and develops mental arithmetic skills.

Key patterns of squares

  • A square cannot be negative: any number squared is ≥ 0.
  • Squares of numbers ending in 5 always end in 25: 15² = 225, 25² = 625, 35² = 1225.
  • Square of a sum: (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b².
  • Square of a difference: (a − b)² = a² − 2ab + b².
  • Difference of squares: a² − b² = (a − b)(a + b).

How to memorize the table of squares

  1. Rely on "anchor" values: 10² = 100, 20² = 400, 30² = 900, 50² = 2500, 100² = 10000.
  2. Use the square of a sum formula: 12² = (10 + 2)² = 100 + 40 + 4 = 144.
  3. Practice regularly for 10–15 minutes a day using the online multiplication trainer.

Frequently asked questions

What is a table of squares?

A table of squares is a reference table in which for each number from 1 to 100 its square is shown, that is, the result of multiplying the number by itself. For example, 7² = 49.

How do you use the table of squares?

Find the required number in the table — its square is shown next to it. If you need to find a number by its square, move in the reverse order: for example, if the square is 144, the number is 12.

Why is the table of squares needed at school?

The table of squares is used for fast calculation, solving equations, problems on area and the Pythagorean theorem, and when working with square roots. It helps save time on exams.

How can I memorize squares of numbers quickly?

Rely on anchor values (10² = 100, 20² = 400, 30² = 900, 50² = 2500) and use the square of a sum formula: 12² = (10 + 2)² = 100 + 40 + 4 = 144. Practice regularly for 10–15 minutes a day.

Where can I download the table of squares for printing?

You can download the table of squares in PNG format via the links in the "Download the table of squares" section. The files are suitable for printing on A4.
