If a number ends in 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 or 9, is it always a square?

  • 1

No, a number ending in 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 or 9 is not always a square. While all square numbers do end with these digits, not every number with these digits is a square. For example, 26 ends in 6.

  1. Even though square numbers always end in 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 or 9, not all numbers ending in these digits are squares. For instance, 36 and 16 are squares ending in 6, but 26 also ends in 6 and is not a square. So, we cannot say a number is a square based only on its units digit. This rule only helps eliminate some possibilities, not confirm squareness.
