Find the smallest number by which the following number must be multiplied so as to get a perfect square.648
Given :
The given number is 648.
To do :
We have to find the number to be multiplied by 648 to make it a perfect square.
Solution :
The prime factorization of 648 is as follows
Prime factors of 648 $= 2\times2\times2\times3\times3\times3\times3 = 2\times(2\times2)\times(3\times3)\times(3\times3)$
The smallest number it needs to be multiplied to make it a perfect square is 2.
So for 648 to be a perfect square, the smallest number to be multiplied is 2.
$648\times2 = (2\times2)\times(2\times2)\times(3\times3)\times(3\times3)$
$1296 = (2\times2\times3\times3)^2$
$1296 = (36)^2$.
Therefore, the smallest number it needs to be multiplied to make it a perfect square is 2.
