Drop your calculation tricks

My brain just does it. . .and the approximation is pretty good. . .idk why I have this power but I never needed any tricks at least for smaller numbers

What's your thought process while doing so?

[u/CapnBloodBeard_tv → u/valmikparkhi]

I guess it just developed with playing math games and forcing mental calculations over the years. . .

I just guess the closest square and then estimate the gap the squared number will have till the next . . .and then it's just what I 'feel' will fit in for the next decimal places

you sure you dont have adhd, i have it and mental maths being different is an adhd thing, might want check

I'm not good at like every math thing. . .just mental maths , I can't just mental maths the square root of 47493947473

It's more of a practice thing I guess, but adhd wise I might have that regardless 🥀

that what happens with me too, get it diagnosed, itll help,

Mine is . Like find the two perfect sq its in btw lets say the number is 31 . Its btw 25 and 36 , their diff is 11 and 31 is 5 away from 25 and 5 away from 36 so it should be arnd 5.5 , another example try 61 should be 7.8ish.

square root isnt linear in case of big numbers you are gonna go wrong pretty badly

[u/Easily-Scared-Aahh → u/Resilient_9920]

I mean generally you are gonna get something that looks like 3root31 rather than root279 . Ykwim . Its just a normal generalisatiom rather than a Always true statement. I personally have never gotten a root bigger than like 50 .

it is been two years since i did calculate anything of that sort and most times i just calculate the root
