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 751 is about 27.404.

Thus, the square root of 751 is not an integer, and therefore 751 is not a square number.

Anyway, 751 is a prime number, and a prime number cannot be a perfect square.

The square of a number (here 751) is the result of the product of this number (751) by itself (i.e., 751 × 751); the square of 751 is sometimes called "raising 751 to the power 2", or "751 squared".

The square of 751 is 564 001 because 751 × 751 = 751² = 564 001.

As a consequence, 751 is the square root of 564 001.

751 is a number with 3 digits.

The multiples of 751 are all integers evenly divisible by 751, that is all numbers such that the remainder of the division by 751 is zero. There are infinitely many multiples of 751. The smallest multiples of 751 are:

• 0: indeed, 0 is divisible by any natural number, and it is thus a multiple of 751 too, since 0 × 751 = 0
• 751: indeed, 751 is a multiple of itself, since 751 is evenly divisible by 751 (we have 751 / 751 = 1, so the remainder of this division is indeed zero)
• 1 502: indeed, 1 502 = 751 × 2
• 2 253: indeed, 2 253 = 751 × 3
• 3 004: indeed, 3 004 = 751 × 4
• 3 755: indeed, 3 755 = 751 × 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 751). 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 27.404). 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.
