How many integers $m$ are there for which $5\times 2^m +1$ is a square number?

A four digit number is divisible by all the even numbers strictly between $10$ and $20$. This four digit number plus the sum of its own digits equals a perfect square. Find this four digit number.

A positive integer $n$ is said to be good if there exists a perfect square whose sum of digits in base $10$ is equal to $n$. For instance, $13$ is good because $7^2 = 49$ and $4 + 9 = 13$. How many good numbers are among $1, 2, 3, \cdots , 2007$?

Mary found a $3$-digit number that, when multiplied by itself, produced a number which ended in her original $3$-digit number. What is the sum of all the numbers which have this property?

Find $8$ prime numbers, not necessarily distinct such that the sum of the squares of these numbers is $992$ less than $4$ times of the product of these numbers.

Find a square number which has two thousand and eighteen $6$s and some numbers of $0$s?


Find the number of integer pairs $(x, y)$ such that $x^2 + y^2 = 2019$.


If a square number's tens digit is $7$, what is its units digit?


There are $100$ lights lined up in a long room. Each light has its own switch and is currently off. The room has an entry door and an exit door. There are $100$ people lined up outside the entry door. Each light is numbered consecutively from $1$ to $100$. So is each person.

Person No. $1$ enters the room, switches on every light, and exits. Person No. $2$ enters and flips the switch on every second light (i.e. turn off lights $2$, $4$, $6$...). Person No. $3$ enters and flips the switch on every third light (i.e. toggle lights $3$, $6$, $9$...). This continues until all $100$ people have passed through the room. How many of the lights are on at the end?


Let $n^2$ be a square number, show that $n^2\equiv 0, 1\pmod{4}$.


Show that if $n^2$ is a square number, then $n^2\equiv 0, 1, 4, 9\pmod{16}$.

In plain English, this means that the remainder can only be $0$, $1$, $4$ or $9$ when a square number is divided by $16$.


How many terms in this sequence are squares? $$1, 11, 111, 1111, \cdots $$


How many terms in this sequence are squares? $$4, 44, 444, 4444, \cdots$$


Let $N$ be an odd square number. Show that $N$'s tens digit must be even.


 Let $N$ be a square number. If its units digit is $6$, then its tens digit must be odd.


Let $N$ be a square number. If its tens digit is odd, then its units digit must be $6$.


Let $N$ be a square number. If its units digit is neither $4$ nor $6$, then its tens digit must be even.


Let $n^2$ be a square number. Show that $n^2\equiv 0, \pm 1\pmod{5}$.


Show that if the equation $a^2 + 1\equiv 0\pmod{p}$ is solvable for some $a$, then $p$ can be represented as a sum of two squares.


Let $a$ and $b$ be two positive integers such that both of them can be written as a sum of two squares. Show that their product can be written as a sum of two squares in two ways.


(Two Squares Theorem) Show that a positive integer $n$ is a sum of two squares if and only if each prime factor $p$ of $n$ such that $p\equiv 3\pmod{4}$ occurs to an even power in the prime factorization of $n$.


Let $S$ be the sum of squares of $10$ consecutive positive integers. Show $S$ cannot be a square.


Show that there exists an infinite number of squares in the form of $(n\cdot 2^k - 7)$ where $n$ and $k$ are both positive integers.


Show that for any positive integer $n$, the value of $\displaystyle\sum_{k=0}^{n}2^{3k}\binom{2n+1}{2k+1}$ is not a multiple of $5$.


Show that there exists a perfect sqaure whose leading $2024$ digits are all $1$.
