Home > Perfect square

The term perfect square is used in mathematics in two meanings:

a positive integer which is the square of some other integer, i.e. can be written in the form n² for some integer n.
- Examples: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, ... See square number.
an algebraic expression that can be factored as the square of some other expression, e.g. a² ± 2ab + b² = (a ± b)². (see Square (algebra)).

This is not the same as a magic square.
