Any number with a sixth integer root will have a integer square root. Can someone explain why? Eg. 64 has a 6th root integer 2 and square root integer 8. This applies for all integers that have a sixth root integer; that integer will have an integer square root.

Similarly, 64 also has a perfect cube root of 4 and a perfect square of 8. Any method to recognise this pattern?

I'm not aware of any such method. You just need to remember the pattern. It's good to memorize the perfect squares upto 30 and perfect cubes upto 10 or 15.
