By Euclid's division algorithm, a = bq + r
Where a,b,q,r are non negative integer and 0 ≤ r < b.
On putting b = 4
We get,
When r = 0, a = 4q
Squaring both sides
We get,
= 4m is perfect square for m
= 4q²
When r = 1, a = 4q + 1
Squaring both sides
We get,
= 4m + 1 is perfect square for m = 4q² + 2q
When r = 2, a = 4q + 2
Squaring both sides
We get,
= 4m is perfect square for m = 4q² + 4q + 1
When r = 3, a = 4q + 3
Squaring both sides
We get,
= 4m + 1 is perfect square for some of value of m.
Hence, the square on any integer is either of the form 4q or 4q + 1 for some integer q.
