Question

Find the least number which must be subtracted from 2037 so that the resulting number is a perfect square.

Sum

Solution

Clearly; if 12 is subtracted from 2037, the remainder will be a perfect square.

∴ 2037 - 12 = 2025 and `sqrt(2025)` = 45

  45
4 2037
16
85 437
425
  12 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The least number is 12, which must be subtracted from 2037 to make the resulting number a perfect square.
