Is there any prime numbers that are square numbers?

No, there are no prime numbers that are also square numbers. Prime numbers are only divisible by 1 and themselves, while square numbers have integer square roots. Since the square root of a prime number is not an integer, a prime number cannot be a square number.

The set of prime factors of the numbers from 1 to 15,000 would be the set of prime numbers between 1 and 15,000. The link below has a list of the first 10,000 prime numbers, so if you take the primes less than 15,000, you will have the set of prime factors of the first 15,000 numbers.
