Prove that $6(10^{n_1}+10^{n_2}+\cdots+10^{n_k})$ cannot be a perfect square. 
Let $m$ be a natural number with digits consisting entirely of $6$’s and $0$’s. Prove that m is not the square of a natural number.

I started by noting that $m=6(10^{n_1}+10^{n_2}+\cdots+10^{n_k})$ for some natural numbers, $n_1,n_2,\cdots,n_k$
Clearly $m$ has factors of $2,3,5$. I asserted that since $10^a$ is not divisible by $3$, the sums wont be divisible either, so $m$ has one factor of $3$ and cannot be a perfect square. But I realized that this needn't be valid, since $111$ is divisible by $3$, so my argument fails.
 A: We may assume without loss of generality that the last two digits are not both $0$ (divide by $100=10^2$). Now notice that the last two digits of a square, i.e. the remainder upon division modulo $100$, can never be $06$, $60$ or $66$. You can check that simply by looking at the first 100 squares.
A: Note that the $n_1,\dots,n_k$ are necessarily different (otherwise $36 = 6(10^0+...+10^0)$ would be a counterexample). Let's assume $n_1<...<n_k$. Then
$$m=6(10^{n_1}+...+10^{n_k})=3\cdot 2^{n_1+1}\cdot 5^{n_1}(1+10^{n_2-n_1}+...+10^{n_k-n_1}).$$
and the last factor is coprime to $2,5$. Now if $n_1$ is odd, then the power of $5$ in the prime factorization of $m$ is odd. Iff $n_1$ is even, the power of $2$ in $m$ is odd.
Either way, this is a contradiction to $m$ being a square.
A: The nonzero remainders of squares  $\pmod {100}$
are 
$$        1,   4,   9,  16,  21,  24,  25,  29,  36,  41,  44,  49,  56,  61,  64,  69,  76,  81,  84,  89,  96,
 $$
As already pointed out in the quicker answers, you may divide out by 100 until the number is not divisible by 100. Then we find that 06 and 60 are not the final two digits of a square.
A: Decided to post my own answer that I recently figured out since the accepted one involves computing 50 squares. 
$$x=(\cdots\cdots6) \text{  or  } x=(\cdots\cdots00)$$

In the first case, clearly $x$ is even so, $$4n^2=10k+6=100k_1+6 \quad\text{or  } 100k_1+66$$

Both of which are absurd.

In the second case, we divide by $100$ and we are back to either case $2$ or case $1$.
