Yes. The square of an integer is just the number times itself. For any two whole numbers that are multiplied, the answer is always an integer (i.e. no decimals).
It is not a perfect square because there is no integer that when multiplied by itself produces 270.
A factor of a number is an integer that can be multiplied by another integer to result in the given number. In this case, 0.5 is a decimal number, and factors are typically integers. However, in this context, a factor of 0.5 would be any number that can be multiplied by 0.5 to result in the product of 0.5. The factors of 0.5 would be 1 and 0.5 itself.
Then, if the exponent is a positive integer, the value is 1 multiplied by the base repeatedly, exponent times. If the exponent is a negative integer then it is the reciprocal of the above value.In either case, it is NOT the base multiplied by itself an exponent number of times.
I don't know if this is what you mean, but to make a normal number a square number, you have to times it by itself*****I suspect though, that the answer is as follows:A square number is one that is the product of some integer multiplied by itself. This second integer is the square root of the original number. Thus, 9 is a square number since 3*3 = 9
