According to the square number definition, they are the numbers that are multiplied by themselves. In other words, if a natural number is multiplied by itself, it is known as a square number. For example, 2 multiplied by itself (2×2) is a square number. When we multiply two equal integers by each other, the result of that ticket is basically a perfect square. Square numbers cannot be negative because if a negative number is multiplied by the same negative number it results in a positive number. Hence, square numbers are always positive.
Square numbers are named after a square because they form an area of a square. Imagine you have 9 items of 3 different categories. If we arrange it into a grid of 3 columns and 3 rows (3*3=9) placed vertically and horizontally, the grid will form a square.
Squaring Decimals
Just like squaring whole numbers (integers) is easy, it is also very easy to square decimals and both are done in the same way.
For example, 1.53 x 1.53 = 2.3409
7.19 x 7.19 = 51.6961
Properties of Square Number
-
Property 1- Square numbers will always end with the digits 0,1,4,5,6 and 9. For example 9,14,25,81,100 are perfect squares whereas numbers like 17,22,83 are not perfect numbers.
-
Property 2- A square number always contains an even number of zeros at the end and numbers containing an odd number of zeros cannot be square numbers. For example, 1600 3600 2500 square numbers whereas 1000, 250,160 are not square numbers.
-
Property 7- Square root of a square number is a whole number. For example, the square root of 441 is 21 so your 441 is a square number. If the square of a number is a decimal of a fraction number then the number is not a perfect square. For example, √56=7.48, so your 56 is not a perfect square.
