The square numbers (perfect squares, or just squares), are integers for which the square root is an integer. Each prime in the prime factorization of a square number appears an even number of times.

For example, 144 is a square number, since
2  144
=
2  2 4 ⋅  3 2
= 2 2 ⋅  3 1 = 12
, while 12 is not a square number, since
2  12
=
2  2 2 ⋅  3 1
= 2 1 ⋅  
2  3
  ≈   3.464101615
