It provides a step-by-step method with clear examples for 15, 25, 35, and 105. The trick involves two main steps: first, writing '25' as the last two digits of the result, and second, multiplying the digit preceding '5' by the next consecutive integer, then placing this product before the '25'. For instance, to square 35, you first write '25'. Then, you multiply 3 by 4 (the number following 3), which equals 12. Finally, you place 12 before 25 to get 1225, which is 35 squared. This method is illustrated with detailed examples, including the calculation for 15² (resulting in 225), 25² (resulting in 625), 35² (resulting in 1225), and 105² (resulting in 11,025).
