2.     Difference  less than base.

3.     Square the difference  less than base, these are the last two digit of square are write on the right side of the partition.

4.     Subtract difference from rest number.

e.g. 1.            96²

step 1            :           96                   - 4

                                  92       /          16                   =          Sol.   9216
