Is there any number N that satisfies all of the following
conditions?
(A) N is a whole number greater than 9.
(B) N is made of a single digit that repeats (1,111 or 777,777, e.g.)
(C) N is a perfect square.
(A) N is a whole number greater than 9.
(B) N is made of a single digit that repeats (1,111 or 777,777, e.g.)
(C) N is a perfect square.
Solution
The squares mod 10 can be ending with digits 1,4,9,6,5,0
so the numbers with all 2,3,7,8 cannot be perfect square
so the numbers with all 2,3,7,8 cannot be perfect square
11 mod 4 , 55 mod 4, 99 mod 4 = 3, 66 mod 4 = 2
so the numbers with all 1,5,9,6
as numbers ending with all 4s ( all 11’s * 4) cannot be a
perfect square
so there is no N.
