It is not the square of a whole number; but it is the square of a real number. If you calculate the square root of 23, you will get a real number. That real number times itself will equal 23. But the square root will not be a simple whole number. It will have an endless decimal fraction.
There is no real number [square] root of a negative number. There is a real cube root and a real fiftth root etc, but root, by itself, implies square root.
a prime square
The answer is 961. The square root of 961 is 31, which is a prime number.
The square root of any positive real number (as in this case) is a real number. (Such square roots are usually irrational.)The square root of a negative real number, such as the square root of -15, is an imaginary, and therefore also a complex, number.
The square root of 5 is the positive real number that, when multiplied by itself, gives the prime number 5.
It is not the square of a whole number; but it is the square of a real number. If you calculate the square root of 23, you will get a real number. That real number times itself will equal 23. But the square root will not be a simple whole number. It will have an endless decimal fraction.
Nice question! The square root of (any number that isn't a perfect square) is irrational. No prime number is a perfect square. So the square root of any prime number is irrational.
There is no real number [square] root of a negative number. There is a real cube root and a real fiftth root etc, but root, by itself, implies square root.
There is no three digit prime number whose square root is a prime number. Prime numbers have no factors other than 1 and themselves. Any number having a prime number as a square root is a composite number.
a prime square
The square root of seven is a real number, but it is not a whole number.
The square root of 0 is 0, which is a real number.
The answer is 961. The square root of 961 is 31, which is a prime number.
The square root of any positive real number (as in this case) is a real number. (Such square roots are usually irrational.)The square root of a negative real number, such as the square root of -15, is an imaginary, and therefore also a complex, number.
The square root of 169 is 13 which is a rational and also a Prime number
There can't be a prime number that has a square root because the square root would be a factor of the number.
