A beprisque number nnn is an integer which is either one more than a prime number and one less than a perfect square, or one more than a square and one less than a prime. The 5th such number is 10.
One way is to get the prime factorization of the number. If every prime occurs an even number of times, it is a square, otherwise, not. Another is to estimate the square root of the number, and square it. If you get more than the number, try a lower estimate; if less, a higher one. Using interval bisection you very quickly zero in on the square root, if it is a whole number. If so, the number is a perfect square. Otherwise, you find 2 consecutive whole numbers between which is the square root, in which case it is not a perfect square.
To be a perfect square, all the primes in a number's prime factorisation must have an even power To be a perfect cube, all the primes in a number's prime factorisation must a power that is a multiple of 3 → To be a perfect square, all the primes in a number's prime factorisation must a power that is a multiple of 3 and a multiple of 2, ie the power must be a multiple of 6 The smallest prime is 2 2⁶ = 64 = (2³)² = 8² = (2²)³ = 4³ 2¹² = 4096 (too large) 3⁶ = 729 (too large) There is also 1 = 1² = 1³ Thus the whole numbers less than 100 which are both perfect squares and perfect cubes are 1 and 64.
No square number is a prime number, since it has the number you squared as a factor. There are several square numbers less than 100. Just calculate the squares of all numbers, starting with 1, until you reach or pass 100. Then stop.
87 is the only 2-digit number that is 6 greater and 13 less than a square, but it is not prime.
Any number squared except 0 is a perfect square so it follows that prime numbers are less common than perfect squares.

Actually it can, if it's not the square of a prime number. For example, 144 is the square of 12; but you can also factor it as 6 x 24.

There is only one even prime number and that is 2 as all over even numbers can be divided by 2 and 2 is not square so there isn't a number less than 100 that is an even prime square number.
It is: 4

Prime numbers can't have whole number square roots, of course, but the largest prime number under 400 is 397.
A square number, or perfect square, is the square of an integer. 232 is less than 572, 242 is more, so it is not the square of an integer.
