Let n be any positive integer. Applying Euclids division lemma with divisor = 5, we get
{tex}\style{font-family:Arial}{\begin{array}{l}n=5q+1,5q+2,5q+3\;and\;5q+4\;\\\end{array}}{/tex}
Now (5q)2 = 25q2 = 5m, where m = 5q2, which is an integer;
{tex}\style{font-family:Arial}{\begin{array}{l}(5q\;+\;1)^{\;2}\;=\;25q^2\;+\;10q\;+\;1\;=\;5(5q^2\;+\;2q)\;+\;1\;=\;5m\;+\;1\\where\;m\;=\;5q^2\;+\;2q,\;which\;is\;an\;integer;\\\;(5q\;+\;2)^2\;=\;25q^2\;+\;20q\;+\;4\;=\;5(5q^2\;+\;4q)\;+\;4\;=\;5m\;+\;4,\\\;where\;m\;=\;5q^2\;+\;4q,\;which\;is\;an\;integer;\\\;(5q\;+\;3)^{\;2}\;=\;25q^2\;+\;30q\;+\;9\;=\;5(5q^2\;+\;6q+\;1)\;+\;4\;=\;5m\;+\;4,\\\;where\;m\;=\;5q^2\;+\;6q\;+\;1,\;which\;is\;an\;integer;\\\;(5q\;+\;4)^2\;=\;25q^2\;+\;40q\;+\;16\;=\;5(5q^2\;+\;8q\;+\;3)\;+\;1\;=\;5m\;+\;1,\;\\where\;m\;=\;5q^2\;+\;8q\;+\;3,\;which\;is\;an\;integer\\\end{array}}{/tex}
Thus, the square of any positive integer is of the form 5m, 5m + 1 or 5m + 4 for some integer m.
It follows that the square of any positive integer cannot be of the form 5m + 2 or 5m + 3 for some integer m.
