General Properties of Squares
General Properties of Squares
The square numbers are the values which are produced when we multiply a number by itself. Some of the properties are:
Property 1: The square of a natural number other than one is either a multiple of 3 or exceeds a multiple of 3 by 1.
In other words, a perfect square leaves remainder 0 or 1 on division by 3.
Verification: The above property can be easily verified from the following computations:
| Square number | Remainder when divided by 3 |
| 1 | |
| 0 | |
| 1 | |
| 1 | |
| 0 | |
| 1 | |
| 1 |
Application: If a number when divided by 3 leaves remainder 2, then it is not a perfect square.
Property 2: The square of a natural number other than one is either a multiple of 4 or exceeds a multiple of 4 by 1.
In other words, a perfect square leaves remainder 0 or 1 on division by 4.
Property 3: The square of a natural number n is equal to the sum of first n odd natural numbers.
We have,
Sum of first 1 odd natural number,
Sum of first 2 odd natural numbers,
Sum of first 3 odd natural numbers.
Sum of first 4 odd natural numbers.
Property 4 : The sum of first n odd natural numbers is 
i.e.
The sum 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 is _________________ .

A marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.
