I think you mean square numbers instead of square roots.

To prove something is true in mathematics, every single values in the range must be true otherwise it is false.
Because the range is all whole numbers above 2 , we can start with that number.
2 has factors 1 and 2 so it has two factors.
3 has factors 1 and 3 so it has two factors.
However, 4 has factors 1 , 2 and 4 so it has three factors.
Since the condition is all numbers within the range having even number of positive factors, 4 does not satisty that, so False.
The numbers {0, 1, 2, 3, ...} etc. There is no fractional or decimal part. And no negatives. Reference : http://www.mathsisfun.com/definitions/whole-number.html
Square numbers have twin factor other than itself and 1. So, the answer is FALSE
