Detecting square numbers


Philip R. Brown

Abstract

We discover some properties of square numbers (perfect squares) if they are expressed in base 2s for s 3 and develop an algorithm that builds up the square root of a number (if it exists) from the low order digits to the high order digits.


Key words: Binary, octal, hexadecimal, square number.
