Square roots, like sqrt(2), are Irrational Numbers. This means that they CANNOT be written as a ratio of two integers. All other real numbers can be written a s a ratio of two integers (for example,
5 is 5/1
0.33333... is 1/3
etc.
But, sqrt(2) cannot be written as something over something.
As a decimal, square roots never end and NEVER repeat.

They are square factors that are factors of other numbers as for example 9 is a square number that is a factor of 27
Prime numbers have two factors. All square numbers (other than 1) have more than that.
no, every number is a real number --- There are numbers that are not real numbers. They are called imaginary numbers, and have the property that when they are squared, the result is negative. The square root of -1 is called i, and the square root of any other negative number is i times the square root of the absolute value of the number. So the square root of -4 is 2i.
Any odd number multiply with itself, or any other odd number results in odd square number.
24 and 35 have factors other than 1 and the number itself. That makes them composite numbers.
