by following that:
121/8 = 15 R 1
15/8 = 1 R 7
= 1*8^2 + 7*8^1 + 1*8^0 = 171
thus 15×15 = 225
225/8 = 28 R 1
28/8 = 3 R 4
= 3*8^2 + 4*8^1 + 1*8^0 = 341

Hi guys, the answer is not 339 🙂 It’s playing with the number bases.
Convert all answers from 8th base to 10th base and you get the right multiplication result that will be when you normally multiply the numbers.
Thus:
15*15 = 225 in 10th base, 341 in 8th base.
The answer is 341

he answer is 339. they are alternately adding 26 and 6 after initializing with 50.
Just look at this.
11*11=> 121+50=171
12*12=> 144+50+26=220
13*13=> 169+50+26+6=251
14*14=> 196+50+26+6+26=304
So now will add another 6 thus,
15*15=> 225+50+26+6+26+6=339
THAT’s IT….. Enjoyyy (Y)
