Question
How many non-square numbers lie between the following pairs of numbers?
100^2 and 101^2
999^2 and 1000^2
11^2 and 12^2
How many non-square numbers lie between the following pairs of numbers?
100^2 and 101^2
999^2 and 1000^2
11^2 and 12^2
The numbers between squares of two consecutive numbers are all non-perfect squares.
100^2 and 101^2
101^2-100^2 = (101-100)(101+100) = 201
Therefore, there are 200 non-square numbers between 100^2 and 101^2
999^2 and 1000^2
1000^2-999^2=(1000-999)(1000+999) = 1999
Therefore, there are 1998 non-square numbers between 999^2 and 1000^2
11^2 and 12^2
12^2-11^2 =(12-11)(12+11) = 23
Therefore, there are 22 non-square numbers between 11^2 and 12^2
