ANSWER: x2 - y2 = (x + y) (x - y)
Let:
x = 1st number
y = 2nd number
difference of two squares = x2 - y2
factors of x2 - y2 = (x + y) (x - y)

sometimes it's quick to work out as
just multiply their sum by their difference.
for example two squared is like 2 times by 2 which equals 4 but if its just 2 its 2
4 squared is 16, so any numbers that are 16 apart. For example 46-30=16
The difference between the squares of two consecutive numbers is the sum of those two numbers. For example: 2 squared is 4. 3 squared is 9. 9-4=5 2+3=5 This is for a very simple reason: To go from 2x2 or '2 lots of two' to '3 lots of two' (3x2) we must add another two. 3 lots of two equals 2 lots of three. To get to three lots of two we need another three. We have added two then three, or 2+3. You can also apply this rule two numbers further apart, but to discover their squares' difference you must add them together and multiply by their difference EG. 2 squared is 4 4 squared is 16 16-4= 12 (2+4)x2=12
A prime number is a positive integer with two factors: one and the number itself. A squared number is any integer multiplied by itself. With the exception of 1, all squared numbers are composite.
It is the difference of two squares which is: (x+2y)(x-2y)
1 and 36 is one of two possible pairs -> so the squared numbers are 12 and 62
