Are there any prime numbers that are also square numbers



Sagot :

The definition of a prime number is one in which there are no factors other than 1 and itself. For example, 5 has no other factors other than 1 and 5 (itself).

The number 1 is not considered prime nor composite.So, even though it is a square (1²), it is not a prime number.

All square numbers have a square root that is neither 1 nor itself: 16 is the square of 4, 49 the square of 7, and so on.

Due to the fact that square numbers have factors other than 1 and itself, square numbers are not prime.

Hope this helps! :)
No because 9, for example, has 3 as its factors.
