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 683 is about 26.134.

Thus, the square root of 683 is not an integer, and therefore 683 is not a square number.

Anyway, 683 is a prime number, and a prime number cannot be a perfect square.

The square of a number (here 683) is the result of the product of this number (683) by itself (i.e., 683 × 683); the square of 683 is sometimes called "raising 683 to the power 2", or "683 squared".

The square of 683 is 466 489 because 683 × 683 = 683² = 466 489.

As a consequence, 683 is the square root of 466 489.

683 is a number with 3 digits.

The multiples of 683 are all integers evenly divisible by 683, that is all numbers such that the remainder of the division by 683 is zero. There are infinitely many multiples of 683. The smallest multiples of 683 are:

• 0: indeed, 0 is divisible by any natural number, and it is thus a multiple of 683 too, since 0 × 683 = 0
• 683: indeed, 683 is a multiple of itself, since 683 is evenly divisible by 683 (we have 683 / 683 = 1, so the remainder of this division is indeed zero)
• 1 366: indeed, 1 366 = 683 × 2
• 2 049: indeed, 2 049 = 683 × 3
• 2 732: indeed, 2 732 = 683 × 4
• 3 415: indeed, 3 415 = 683 × 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 683). 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 26.134). 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.
