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 563 is about 23.728.

Thus, the square root of 563 is not an integer, and therefore 563 is not a square number.

Anyway, 563 is a prime number, and a prime number cannot be a perfect square.

The square of a number (here 563) is the result of the product of this number (563) by itself (i.e., 563 × 563); the square of 563 is sometimes called "raising 563 to the power 2", or "563 squared".

The square of 563 is 316 969 because 563 × 563 = 563² = 316 969.

As a consequence, 563 is the square root of 316 969.

563 is a number with 3 digits.

The multiples of 563 are all integers evenly divisible by 563, that is all numbers such that the remainder of the division by 563 is zero. There are infinitely many multiples of 563. The smallest multiples of 563 are:

• 0: indeed, 0 is divisible by any natural number, and it is thus a multiple of 563 too, since 0 × 563 = 0
• 563: indeed, 563 is a multiple of itself, since 563 is evenly divisible by 563 (we have 563 / 563 = 1, so the remainder of this division is indeed zero)
• 1 126: indeed, 1 126 = 563 × 2
• 1 689: indeed, 1 689 = 563 × 3
• 2 252: indeed, 2 252 = 563 × 4
• 2 815: indeed, 2 815 = 563 × 5
• etc.

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 563). 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 23.728). 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.
