First I started off by making a table. My table extended from 72 across to 72 down. I filled out the table by finding out the difference between the different squared numbers. I immediately noticed that every odd number works(is a difference between two squared numbers). I noticed this after looking at this:

I realized that because this diagonal row contains every odd number, then all odd numbers work. Now, I tried to look for patterns with the even numbers. I learned that all the even numbers that work are divisible by four. I tried out many ways to see the pattern with evens and finall figured out that: in order to check if an even number works, you divide it

by four(if it is not divisible by 4 then that number doesn’t work) and then pick the number one greater from it and one less that it. For example: The number = 16 16/4=4 (take the number 1 greater than it and 1 les than it) 4-1=3, and 4+1=5 So 52-42=16
