Squares are numbers obtained by multiplying an integer by itself. Perfect squares are integers whose square root is also an integer, such as 4, 9, and 100. The properties of squares include that numbers ending in 2, 3, 7, or 8 cannot be perfect squares and that the number of zeros at the end of perfect squares is always even. Square roots are values that when multiplied by themselves equal the original number. Common methods for finding square roots include division, prime factorization, and repeated subtraction. Square roots and squares also follow properties such as squares of even numbers being even and odd numbers being odd.
