Check the following nimbers whether each of them is a perfect square or not 16000
Hello,
16000 is not a perfect square
- The most accurate way to find a number is a perfect square or not is to find the factors
- There are some quick ways to find but to confirm it you should factoring
You can find whether a number is a perfect square or not by the following steps:
Perfect square is a Number that expressed as product of two equal integers
1. A number that is a perfect square that never ends in 2,3,7 or 8
The last digit of 16000 is 0 .0 is not in the list of numbers that are never perfect squares
2.You need to obtain the digital root
Split the number and add It together
1+6+0+0+0 = 7
So the digital root of number 16000 is 7
3.All possible numbers that are perfect square have a digital root of 1,4,7,9
Since 7 is in the list of digital roots that have perfect squares, we can say 16000 could be a perfect square
4.FACTORING :
Factors of 16000 are
1*16000
2*8000
4*4000
5*3200
8*2000
10*1600
16*1000
20*800
25*640
32*500
40*400
50*320
64*240
80*200
100*160
125*128
There should have been a equal numbers of x and y in the factor combination (like 3*3) if it was a perfect square.
But it doesn't have a Equal factor combination when multiplied together producing 16000
So,It means that 16000 is not a perfect square
Hope it helps
