Find the least number which must be added to the following number so as to get a perfect square. Also find the square root of the perfect square so obtained.

6412

Sum

Solution

The square root of 6412 can be calculated by the long division method as follows:

  80
8 `bar64  bar12`
-64
160     012
      00
         12

The remainder is 12.

Clearly, 802 = 6400 < 6412

812 = 6561 > 6412

The number that should be added is 6561 − 6412 = 149, and the square root of 6561 is 81.
