A square number is any number multiplied by itself.
1 is a square number, since 1 x 1 = 1.
2 is not, since there is no integer that you can multiply by itself to get 2.
4 is the next square number, since 2 x 2 = 4.
Squaring 3, 4, and 5 give the next three square numbers: 9, 16, and 25.
To get the first thousand square numbers, take each of the first thousand natural numbers (1, 2, 3, ... 1000) and multiply them by themselves. This will produce the first thousand square numbers, ranging from 1 (1x1) to 1,000,000 (1,000 x 1,000).
The squares of the numbers 32, 33, 34,...,44 the square of the first number 32 is 1024 the square of the last number 44 is 1936
There are 31 perfect square numbers between 1 and 1000 (including 1).
There is an infinity of squares that are over 1000, starting with 322 = 1024.
They are the squares of the numbers 1 to 31. Use a calculator to find them.
The sum of the first 1,000 whole numbers is 499,500.
