Is 224 a perfect square number?

A number is a perfect square (or a square number) if its square root is an integer; that is to say, it is the product of an integer with itself. Here, the square root of 224 is about 14.967.

Thus, the square root of 224 is not an integer, and therefore 224 is not a square number.

What is the square number of 224?

The square of a number (here 224) is the result of the product of this number (224) by itself (i.e., 224 × 224); the square of 224 is sometimes called "raising 224 to the power 2", or "224 squared".

The square of 224 is 50 176 because 224 × 224 = 2242 = 50 176.

As a consequence, 224 is the square root of 50 176.

Number of digits of 224

224 is a number with 3 digits.

What are the multiples of 224?

The multiples of 224 are all integers evenly divisible by 224, that is all numbers such that the remainder of the division by 224 is zero. There are infinitely many multiples of 224. The smallest multiples of 224 are:

  • 0: indeed, 0 is divisible by any natural number, and it is thus a multiple of 224 too, since 0 × 224 = 0
  • 224: indeed, 224 is a multiple of itself, since 224 is evenly divisible by 224 (we have 224 / 224 = 1, so the remainder of this division is indeed zero)
  • 448: indeed, 448 = 224 × 2
  • 672: indeed, 672 = 224 × 3
  • 896: indeed, 896 = 224 × 4
  • 1 120: indeed, 1 120 = 224 × 5
  • etc.

How to determine whether an integer is a prime number?

To determine the primality of a number, several algorithms can be used. The most naive technique is to test all divisors strictly smaller to the number of which we want to determine the primality (here 224). First, we can eliminate all even numbers greater than 2 (and hence 4, 6, 8…). Then, we can stop this check when we reach the square root of the number of which we want to determine the primality (here the square root is about 14.967). Historically, the sieve of Eratosthenes (dating from the Greek mathematics) implements this technique in a relatively efficient manner.

More modern techniques include the sieve of Atkin, probabilistic algorithms, and the cyclotomic AKS test.
