Question

Using prime factorization method, find which of the following numbers are perfect square? 

2048 

Solution

2048 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 

Grouping them into pairs of equal factors:
2048 = (2 x 2) x (2 x 2) x (2 x 2) x (2 x 2) x (2 x 2) x 2
The last factor, 2 cannot be paired. Hence, 2048 is not a perfect square.
