Formula

An integer n is a perfect square if an integer k satisfies k²=n. Use integer binary search.
  • Use the units shown beside each field.
  • Results update automatically whenever you change an input.
  • Displayed values use up to four decimal places, or scientific notation for very small or large numbers. Calculations use standard floating-point arithmetic; exact integer and fraction tools identify their own precision rules.
  • Exact integer arithmetic, up to 100 digits. Zero is a perfect square. Floor root and bounding squares do not approximate with floating-point numbers.

Example Calculation

Example inputs
  • Integer: 144

144=12². The next square is 169.

Frequently asked questions

How do I use this calculator?

Enter integer. The result updates automatically. Use Reset to restore the example values.

What method does it use?

An integer n is a perfect square if an integer k satisfies k²=n. Use integer binary search.. Exact integer arithmetic, up to 100 digits. Zero is a perfect square. Floor root and bounding squares do not approximate with floating-point numbers.

Why might a rounded result differ?

The calculation keeps full numeric precision internally, then rounds the displayed result. Rounding intermediate steps by hand can produce a slightly different answer.

Are my inputs saved online?

No. This calculator processes your inputs in your browser. A recently used list stores only calculator names on this device, not your entered values.
