Here are five such numbers: 73, 88, 102, 57 and 69. All these numbers end with 3, 8, 2, 7 or 9. Except 9, the others never appear as the unit digit of square numbers, so they are not squares.

  1. The five numbers that are clearly not squares based on their units digits are: 73 (ends in 3), 88 (ends in 8), 102 (ends in 2), 57 (ends in 7) and 69. While 9 can be the unit digit of a square, all the others—2, 3, 7 and 8—cannot be. Hence, these numbers cannot be perfect squares and we can confidently identify them as non-squares using this rule.
