Question

the numbers 257 and 5050 are not perfect squares.give reasons

Answer 1

16 square is 256 so 257 is not perfect square. 71 square is 5041 so 5050 is not a perfect square

Answer 2

Answer: A perfect square always shows symmetry in its factors.

Ex - 25 = 1 * 5 * 5

        144 = 1 * 2 * 3 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 2

Step-by-step explanation: 257 = 1 * 257 (Prime no.)

                                             5050 = 1 * 5 * 5 * 2 * 101    

Factors don't show symmetry
