(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); LoL I found this out accidentely. I think its pretty cool, as does my math teacher. Anways, here it is:

This works with any real number. No negatives or decimals.

Let's use 42 for example:

1. Multiply the # by itself 42x42 = 1764
2. Then subtract the original number (42) from the number; 1764-42= 1722
3. Divide that number by your original number. 1722(dividided by)42=41
4. Congrats you have successfully subtracted 1

If you are going to use this/share this, remember I came up by this.

Oh, it works with decimals and fractions now.

7x7 is 49, not 50.

So would every1 i thing =D

Thats a long way to subtract 1 but it works lol. Cool thanks.
