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 571 is about 23.896.

Thus, the square root of 571 is not an integer, and therefore 571 is not a square number.

Anyway, 571 is a prime number, and a prime number cannot be a perfect square.

The square of a number (here 571) is the result of the product of this number (571) by itself (i.e., 571 × 571); the square of 571 is sometimes called "raising 571 to the power 2", or "571 squared".

The square of 571 is 326 041 because 571 × 571 = 571² = 326 041.

As a consequence, 571 is the square root of 326 041.

571 is a number with 3 digits.

The multiples of 571 are all integers evenly divisible by 571, that is all numbers such that the remainder of the division by 571 is zero. There are infinitely many multiples of 571. The smallest multiples of 571 are:

• 0: indeed, 0 is divisible by any natural number, and it is thus a multiple of 571 too, since 0 × 571 = 0
• 571: indeed, 571 is a multiple of itself, since 571 is evenly divisible by 571 (we have 571 / 571 = 1, so the remainder of this division is indeed zero)
• 1 142: indeed, 1 142 = 571 × 2
• 1 713: indeed, 1 713 = 571 × 3
• 2 284: indeed, 2 284 = 571 × 4
• 2 855: indeed, 2 855 = 571 × 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 571). 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 23.896). 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.
