Properties of Square Numbers
• The square numbers end with 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 or 9 only. None of the
square number ends with 2, 3, 7 or 8.
• Any number having 1 or 9 in its one’s place will always have a
square ending with 1.
• Any number which has 4 or 6 in its unit’s place, its square will
always end with 6.
• Any number which has 0 in its unit’s place, its square will always
have an even number of zeros at the end.
• Square of even number is even and square of odd
number is odd.
Patterns of numbers:
Triangular Numbers: The numbers 1,3,6,10,15……………are
called triangular numbers. Dot patterns of these numbers
can be arranged in a triangular form. The rule for this
pattern is n(n+1)/2 , where n is a natural number.
Adding Triangular Numbers
If we add two consecutive triangular numbers then we can get the square
number. Example
