1 2 = 1 1^{2} = 1

1 1 2 = 121 11^{2} = 121

11 1 2 = 12321 111^{2} = 12321

thus , a sequence is observed . This is only true till 9 ones

11111111 1 2 = 12345678987654321 111111111^{2} = 12345678987654321

Any proof for this?

By splitting up the second number, we get the sum 111111111 x 100000000 + 111111111 x 10000000 + ... + 111111111 x 1. By using long multiplication in which the 111111111 is stacked skewly, the digits of the sum become 1, 1+1, 1+1+1, ... , 1+1 and 1 which is in other words 12345678987654321.
