Perfect squares are the result of multiplying integers by themselves: 1 x 1 = 1 2 x 2 = 4 3 x 3 = 9 etc. The perfect squares, above, are the numbers to the right of the equal sign, so just continue until you pass the number 500.
You'll need five. 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 5 = 500

No.First of all, you can't write negative numbers as sums of perfect squares at all - since all perfect squares are positive.Second, for natural numbers (1, 2, 3...) you may need up to 4 perfect squares: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrange's_four-square_theoremNo.First of all, you can't write negative numbers as sums of perfect squares at all - since all perfect squares are positive.Second, for natural numbers (1, 2, 3...) you may need up to 4 perfect squares: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrange's_four-square_theoremNo.First of all, you can't write negative numbers as sums of perfect squares at all - since all perfect squares are positive.Second, for natural numbers (1, 2, 3...) you may need up to 4 perfect squares: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrange's_four-square_theoremNo.First of all, you can't write negative numbers as sums of perfect squares at all - since all perfect squares are positive.Second, for natural numbers (1, 2, 3...) you may need up to 4 perfect squares: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrange's_four-square_theorem
Perfect square roots are the counting numbers {1, 2, 3, ...} The squares of the perfect square roots are the perfect squares, namely 1² = 1, 2² = 4, 3² = 9, etc.
