Question

why can't a prime number be a perfect square

Answer 1

As it is not divided equally when multiplied by itself.

Like 5 is a prime no.

So, 2*2=4

3*3=9

Therefore, prime no can't be perfect square.

Answer 2

Prime number can never be a perfect square because prime number is natural number that is divisible by one and itself

And Square of one is one

a number cannot be square of itself except 1
