Is 903 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 903 is about 30.050.

Thus, the square root of 903 is not an integer, and therefore 903 is not a square number.

What is the square number of 903?

The square of a number (here 903) is the result of the product of this number (903) by itself (i.e., 903 × 903); the square of 903 is sometimes called "raising 903 to the power 2", or "903 squared".

The square of 903 is 815 409 because 903 × 903 = 903² = 815 409.

As a consequence, 903 is the square root of 815 409.

Number of digits of 903

903 is a number with 3 digits.

What are the multiples of 903?

The multiples of 903 are all integers evenly divisible by 903, that is all numbers such that the remainder of the division by 903 is zero. There are infinitely many multiples of 903. The smallest multiples of 903 are:

0: indeed, 0 is divisible by any natural number, and it is thus a multiple of 903 too, since 0 × 903 = 0
903: indeed, 903 is a multiple of itself, since 903 is evenly divisible by 903 (we have 903 / 903 = 1, so the remainder of this division is indeed zero)
1 806: indeed, 1 806 = 903 × 2
2 709: indeed, 2 709 = 903 × 3
3 612: indeed, 3 612 = 903 × 4
4 515: indeed, 4 515 = 903 × 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 903). 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 30.050). 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.
