By what least number should the given number be multiplied to get a perfect square number? In each case, find the number whose square is the new number.(i) 3675 (ii) 2156 (iii) 3332 (iv) 2925

Answer»

(i) 3675 

At first, We’ll resolve the given number into prime factors: 

Hence, 

3675 = 3 × 25 × 49 

= 7 × 7 × 3 × 5 × 5 

= (5 × 7) × (5 × 7) × 3 

In the above factors only 3 is unpaired 

So, in order to get a perfect square the given number should be multiplied by 3 

Hence, 

The number whose perfect square is the new number is as following: 

= (5 × 7) × (5 × 7) × 3 × 3 

= (5 × 7 × 3) × (5 × 7 × 3) 

= (5 × 7 × 3)2 

= (105)2 

(ii) 2156 

At first, We’ll resolve the given number into prime factors: 

Hence, 

2156 = 4 × 11 × 49 

= 7 × 7 × 2 × 2 × 11 

= (2 × 7) × (2 × 7) × 11 

In the above factors only 11 is unpaired 

So, 

in order to get a perfect square the given number should be multiplied by 11 

Hence, 

The number whose perfect square is the new number is as following: 

= (2 × 7) × (2 × 7) × 11 × 11 

= (2 × 7 × 11) × (2 × 7 × 11) 

= (5 × 7 × 11)2 

= (154)2 

(iii) 3332 

At first, We’ll resolve the given number into prime factors: 

Hence, 

3332 = 4 × 17 × 49 

= 7 × 7 × 2 × 2 × 17 

= (2 × 7) × (2 × 7) × 17 

In the above factors only 17 is unpaired 

So, in order to get a perfect square the given number should be multiplied by 17 

Hence, 

The number whose perfect square is the new number is as following: 

= (2 × 7) × (2 × 7) × 17 × 17 

= (2 × 7 × 17) × (2 × 7 × 17) 

= (2 × 7 × 17)2 

= (238)2 

(iv) 2925 

At first, We’ll resolve the given number into prime factors: 

Hence, 

2925 = 9 × 25 × 13 

= 3 × 3 × 13 × 5 × 5 

= (5 × 3) × (5 × 3) × 13 

In the above factors only 13 is unpaired 

So, in order to get a perfect square the given number should be multiplied by 13 

Hence, 

The number whose perfect square is the new number is as following: 

= (5 × 3) × (5 × 3) × 13 × 13 

= (5 × 3 × 13) × (5 × 3 × 13) 

= (5 × 3 × 13)2 

= (195)2
