 Perfect Square Rules


Lets start with the simple rules previously discussed.

Any perfect square that ends in a 1 has a root of a number that ends in 9 or 1.
21²=441
19²=361
Any perfect square that ends in a 4  has a root of a number that ends in 2 or 8.
22²=484
18²=324
Any perfect square that ends in a 9  has a root of a number that ends in 3 or 7.
17²=289
33²=1089
Any perfect square that ends in a 0  has a root of a number that ends a 0.
20²=400
Any perfect square that ends in a 5  has a root of a number that ends a 5.
25²=625
Any number ending in 2,3,7, or 8 is not a perfect square.
√23 is not a perfect square
√38 is not a perfect square

Every perfect square except 1 is either a multiple of 3 one more than a multiple of 3:
25=8x3+1
169=56x3+1
144=48x3
225=75x3

Every perfect square except 1 is either divisible by 4 or is 1 more that a multiple of 4:
25=4x6+1
256=4x64
289=4x72+1

Every perfect square whose units digit is 5 always ends in 25. 
15²=225
215²=46225

I never thought rules would be so cool.
