Is there any prime numbers that are square numbers?
No, there are no prime numbers that are also square numbers. Prime numbers are only divisible by 1 and themselves, while square numbers have integer square roots. Since the square root of a prime number is not an integer, a prime number cannot be a square number.
Why are prime numbers not square numbers?
Because square numbers have more than two factors whereas prime numbers have only two factors
Why arnt there any square prime numbers?
Prime numbers only have two factors; square numbers (other than 1) have more than two.
Square numbers prime or composite?
All square numbers greater than 1 are composite.
Can a prime number also be a square number?
No. To be prime it has to be divisible only by itself and one. That means that no numbers multiply to be it. The only possible exception is one. In the math world it may have been decided whether or not one is a prime number, but that is debatable and I'm not aware of the answer. If 1 was considered a prime number, then it would be the only prime square.
