By what number should each of the following numbers by multiplied to get a perfect square in each case? Also find the number whose square is the new number.(i) 8820(ii) 3675(iii) 605(iv) 2880

Answer»

(i) 8820

The prime factors for 8820

=8820 = 2×2×3×3×7×7×5  (grouping the prime factors in equal pairs we get)

= (2×2) × (3×3) × (7×7) × 5

Here,prime factor 5 is left out. So, multiply by 5 we get,

= 8820 × 5 

 = (2×2) × (3×3) × (7×7) × (5×5)

= (2×3×7×5) × (2×3×7×5)

= 210 × 210

= (210)2

(ii) 3675

The prime factors for 3675

3675 = 5×5×7×7×3 (grouping the prime factors in equal pairs we get)

= (5×5) × (7×7) × 3

Here,prime factor 3 is left out.So, multiply by 3 we get,

 = 3675 × 3 

= (5×5) × (7×7) × (3×3)

= (5×7×3) × (5×7×3)

= 105 × 105

= (105)2

(iii) 605

The prime factors for 605

605 = 5×11×11 (grouping the prime factors in equal pairs we get)

= (11×11) × 5

Here, prime factor 5 is left out.So, multiply by 5 we get,

= 605 × 5 

= (11×11) × (5×5)

= (11×5) × (11×5)

= 55 × 55

= (55)2

(iv) 2880

The prime factors for 2880

2880 = 5×3×3×2×2×2×2×2×2 (grouping the prime factors in equal pairs we get)

= (3×3) × (2×2) × (2×2) × (2×2) × 5

Here, prime factor 5 is left out. So, multiply by 5 we get,

= 2880 × 5 

= (3×3) × (2×2) × (2×2) × (2×2) × (5×5)

= (3×2×2×2×5) × (3×2×2×2×5)

= 120 × 120

= (120)2
