  1. Find the square root of 999;
  2. Remove the fractional (decimal) part to leave a whole number; and
  3. Square it.

A perfect square number is made by squaring an integer. The largest three digit perfect square number will be a little bit greater than 302 = 900. So it will be (3A)2. Using the formula for the square of a binomial, a2 + 2ab + b2, A = 1. Thus, (30 +1)2 = 302 + 2(30)(1) + 12 = 961 is the largest perfect square number.

Check 32:

322 = (30 + 2)2 = 900 + 2(30)(2) + 22 = 900 + 120 + 4 = 1024 (4-digits)

You can work faster like this:

312 = 3212; 901 + 2(3)(1)(10) = 961

322 = 3222; 904 + 2(3)(2)(10) = 1024

562 = 5262; 2536 + 600 = 3136
