Question

For the following number, find the smallest whole number by which it should be divided so as to get a perfect square number. Also find the square root of the square number so obtained.

2645

Sum

Solution

2645 can be factorised as follows:

5 2645
23 529
23 23
  1

2645 =  5 × 23 × 23

Here, prime factor 5 does not have its pair.

If we divide this number by 5, then the number will become a perfect square.

Therefore, 2645 has to be divided by 5 to obtain a perfect square.

2645 ÷ 5 = 529 is a perfect square.

529 = 23 × 23

∴ `sqrt529` = 23
