  1. A useful property of square numbers is that they never end with the digits 2, 3, 7 or 8. So, if a number ends with one of these digits, it is certainly not a perfect square. This rule provides a quick check for eliminating non-squares. For example, numbers like 43, 57 and 68 cannot be squares because their units digits violate this rule, even without checking further.
