I found this post in some other forum.

Let's divide this method into three parts and we will discuss each part one by one:

a. Last two digits of numbers which end in one

b. Last two digits of numbers which end in 3, 7 and 9

Last two digits of numbers ending in 1

Let's start with an example.

Find the last two digits of }

Multiply the tens digit of the number (4 here) with the last digit of the exponent (9 here) to get the tens digit. The unit digit
will always equal to one.

In no time at all you can calculate the answer to be 61 (4 × 9 = 36). Therefore, 6 will be the tens digit and one will be the unit digit

Here are some more examples:

What are the last two digits of ?

Last two digits will be 81 (3 × 6 gives 8 as tens digit and 1 as unit digit)

Find the last two digits of

Last two digits will be 91 (7 × 7 gives 9 as tens digit and 1 as unit digit)

Now try to get the answer to this question within 10 seconds:

Find the last two digits of ×

The last two digits of will be 01 and the last two digits of will be 21. Therefore, the last two digits of ×
will be the last two digits of 01 ×21 = 21

Last two digits of numbers ending in 3, 7 or 9

Find the last two digits of .

= . Now, ends in 61 ( = 361) therefore, we need to find the last two digits of .
VERIFIED REVIEW
Once the number is ending in 1 we can straight away get the last two digits with the help of the previous method. The last two digits
are 81 (6 × 3 = 18, so the tens digit will be 8 and last digit will be 1)

Find the last two digits of .

= . Now ends in 21 ( = × = 1089 × 1089 = xxxxx21) therefore, we need to find the last two digits of
. By the previous method, the last two digits of = 41 (tens digit = 2 × 2 = 4, unit digit = 1)

So here's the rule for finding the last two digits of numbers ending in 3, 7 and 9:

Convert the number till the number gives 1 as the last digit and then find the last two digits according to the previous method

Now try the method with a number ending in 7:
