Question

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

4000

Sum

Solution

The square root of 4000 can be calculated by the long division method as follows:

  63
6 `bar40  bar00`
-36
123     400
   -369
         31

The remainder is 31. It represents that the square of 63 is less than 4000 by 31. Therefore, a perfect square can be obtained by subtracting 31 from the given number 4000.

Therefore, required perfect square = 4000 − 31 = 3969

∴ `sqrt(3969)` = 63
