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 911 is about 30.183.

Thus, the square root of 911 is not an integer, and therefore 911 is not a square number.

Anyway, 911 is a prime number, and a prime number cannot be a perfect square.

The square of a number (here 911) is the result of the product of this number (911) by itself (i.e., 911 × 911); the square of 911 is sometimes called "raising 911 to the power 2", or "911 squared".

The square of 911 is 829 921 because 911 × 911 = 911² = 829 921.

As a consequence, 911 is the square root of 829 921.

911 is a number with 3 digits.

The multiples of 911 are all integers evenly divisible by 911, that is all numbers such that the remainder of the division by 911 is zero. There are infinitely many multiples of 911. The smallest multiples of 911 are:

• 0: indeed, 0 is divisible by any natural number, and it is thus a multiple of 911 too, since 0 × 911 = 0
• 911: indeed, 911 is a multiple of itself, since 911 is evenly divisible by 911 (we have 911 / 911 = 1, so the remainder of this division is indeed zero)
• 1 822: indeed, 1 822 = 911 × 2
• 2 733: indeed, 2 733 = 911 × 3
• 3 644: indeed, 3 644 = 911 × 4
• 4 555: indeed, 4 555 = 911 × 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 911). 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 30.183). 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.
