A number AABCBC is the square of an integer. Find all possible values of AABCBC.
There can be five answers:
These are:
228484 (478^2)
316969 (563^2)
332929 (577^2)
452929 (673^2)
776161 (881^2)
So, the maximum such number is 776161 and the minimum such number is 228484.
I tried solving this semi-analytically. It is too unwieldy, ungainly, and cumbersome to posit it here.
