982451653 squared. Worked on a 8-digit 4 function inexpensive simple calculator

98245165 3 2 982451653^2

This can not be done directly on a 8-digit 4 function inexpensive simple calculator. But, it can be done indirectly.

Do not use Wolfram/Alpha or Unix's bc or some other extended precision calculator. A Friden mechanical calculator can do it also; but that would be cheating also.
