Proving that a natural number made entirely of 6's and 0's is not a square.

To make the last part of the argument of @lsp explict, if a square $x^2$ ends in $6$, then the last two decimal digits of $x$ are

• either $a4$, and then $$ x^2 \equiv (a \cdot 10 + 4)^2 \equiv a \cdot 80 + 16 \pmod{100}, $$
• or $a6$, and then $$ x^2 \equiv (a \cdot 10 + 6)^2 \equiv a \cdot 120 + 36 \pmod{100}. $$

In both cases the last-but-one digit is indeed odd.

If $N=10^{2n}.P$ , then $10^{2n}$ is already a perfect square. We just need to check if $P$ is a square.

Since it can either end with '$06$' or '$66$' this is never a perfect square as perfect squares ending with '$6$' should always have an ODD number in ten's place.

Let $a_1a_2a_3...00$ be a square number with $2k$ number of zeroes at the end, and the number is just made of $0's$ and $6's$

Let us suppose that's a square, $x^2=a_1a_2a_3...00$

$x^2=a_1a_2...00=a_1a_3x_4..a_m.10^{2k}$

Which means $a_1a_3a_4..a_m$ is also a square, since $a_{m-1}a_m=06$ or $66$.

$a_1a_2..a_m= 2\mod 4$.

Contradiction. Therefore, there's no such square! And yeah. Your argument is right. :)
