🧮Perfect square numbers end with 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, or 9. They never end with 2, 3, 7, or 8.
🔢The last digit possibilities for perfect square numbers: 0 (only at 0), 1 (either 1 or 9), 4 (either 2 or 8), 5 (only at 5), 6 (either 4 or 6), and 9 (either 3 or 7).
✅The three-step procedure: check the last digit possibility, strike off the numbers, and find the perfect square close to the given number.
