Square Number
if a natural number m can be expressed as n2, where n is also a natural number, then m is a square
number
Some Important point to Note
[Link] Points
1 All square numbers end with 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 or 9 at unit’s place
2 if a number has 1 or 9 in the unit’s place, then it’s square ends in 1.
3 when a square number ends in 6, the number whose square it is, will
have either 4 or 6 in unit’s place
4 None of square number with 2, 3, 7 or 8 at unit’s place.
5 Even number square is even while odd number square is Odd
6 there are 2n non perfect square numbers between the squares of the numbers n and
(n + 1)
7 if a natural number cannot be expressed as a sum of successive odd natural numbers
starting with 1, then it is not a perfect square
How to find the square of Number easily
[Link] Method Working
1 Identity method We know that
(a+b)2 =a2 +2ab+b2
Example
232= (20+3)2 =400+9+120=529
2 Special Cases (a5)2
= a(a + 1) hundred + 25
Example
252=2(3) hundred +25=625
Pythagorean triplets
For any natural number m > 1, we have (2m)2 + (m2 – 1)2 = (m2 + 1)2
So, 2m, m2 – 1 and m2 + 1 forms a Pythagorean triplet
Example
6,8,10
62 +82 =102
Square Root
Square root of a number is the number whose square is given number
So we know that
m=n2
Square root of m
√m =n
Square root is denoted by expression √
How to Find Square root
Name Description
Finding square We know sum of the first n odd natural numbers is n2. So in this method
root through we subtract the odd number starting from 1 until we get the reminder as
repeated zero. The count of odd number will be the square root
subtraction
Consider 36 Then,
(i) 36 – 1 = 35 (ii) 35 – 3 = 32 (iii) 32 – 5 = 27 (iv) 27 – 7 = 20
(v) 20 – 9 = 11 (vi)11 – 11 = 0
So 6 odd number, Square root is 6
Finding square This method, we find the prime factorization of the number.
root through
prime We will get same prime number occurring in pair for perfect
Factorisation square number. Square root will be given by multiplication of
prime factor occurring in pair
Consider
81
81=(3×3)×(3×3)
√81= 3×3=9
Finding square This can be well explained with the example
root by division
method Step 1 Place a bar over every pair of digits starting from the
digit at one’s place. If the number of digits in it is odd, then the
left-most single digit too will have a bar. So in the below
example 6 and 25 will have separate bar
Step 2 Find the largest number whose square is less than or
equal to the number under the extreme left bar. Take this
number as the divisor and the quotient with the number under
the extreme left bar as the dividend. Divide and get the
remainder
In the below example 4 < 6, So taking 2 as divisor and
quotient and dividing, we get 2 as reminder
Step 3 Bring down the number under the next bar to the right
of the remainder.
In the below example we bring 25 down with the reminder, so
the number is 225
Step 4 Double the quotient and enter it with a blank on its
right.
In the below example, it will be 4
Step 5 Guess a largest possible digit to fill the blank which will
also become the new digit in the quotient, such that when the
new divisor is multiplied to the new quotient the product is less
than or equal to the dividend.
In this case 45 × 5 = 225 so we choose the new digit as 5. Get
the remainder.
Step 6 Since the remainder is 0 and no digits are left in the
given number, therefore the number on the top is square root
In case of Decimal Number, we count the bar on the integer part in the same
manner as we did above, but for the decimal part, we start pairing the digit
from first decimal part.
