Each positive integer has a square root uniquely expressed a product
a*sqrt(d), where a and d are positive integers and d is squarefree.
What's the standard terminology for the parts a and d of some sqrt(n)?
Some options for a: integer part, ..?
Some options for d: quadratic part, radicand, squarefree part, radical
part, ..?
Anyhow, the "a-part" and "d-part" of the square root of many fundamental
integer sequences are absent from EIS.
