Find the smallest number that should be multiplied to 242 to get a perfect square

Ex 6.3, 5 For each of the following numbers, find the smallest whole number by which it should be multiplied so as to get a perfect square number. Also find the square root of the square number so obtained. (i) 252 Prime factorizing 252 By prime factorization, 252 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 7 Since 7 does not occur in pair, we multiply by 7 to make it a pair So, our number becomes 252 × 7 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 7 × 7 1764 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 7 × 7 Square root of 1764 ∴ √1764 = 2 × 3 × 7 = 2 × 21 = 42 ∴ The smallest whole number to be multiplied = 7 and square root of new number = 42

Solution:

(i) 243

Prime factors of 243 =

Here 3 do not appear in 3’s group.

Therefore, 243 must be multiplied by 3 to make it a perfect cube.

Find the smallest number that should be multiplied to 242 to get a perfect square

(ii) 256

Prime factors of 256 = 2\times2\times2\times2\times2\times2\times2\times2

Here one factor 2 is required to make a 3’s group.

Therefore, 256 must be multiplied by 2 to make it a perfect cube.

(iii) 72

Prime factors of 72 = 2\times2\times2\times3\times3

Here 3 does not appear in 3’s group.

Therefore, 72 must be multiplied by 3 to make it a perfect cube.

Find the smallest number that should be multiplied to 242 to get a perfect square

(iv) 675

Prime factors of 675 = 3\times3\times3\times5\times5

Here factor 5 does not appear in 3’s group.

Therefore 675 must be multiplied by 3 to make it a perfect cube.

Find the smallest number that should be multiplied to 242 to get a perfect square

(v) 100

Prime factors of 100 = 2\times2\times5\times5

Here factor 2 and 5 both do not appear in 3’s group.

Therefore 100 must be multiplied by 2\times5= 10 to make it a perfect cube.

Find the smallest number that should be multiplied to 242 to get a perfect square

Here, prime factor 7 has no pair. Therefore 252 must be multiplied by 7 to make it a perfect square.

\therefore252\times7=1764

And (i) \sqrt{1764}=2\times3\times7=42

Find the smallest number that should be multiplied to 242 to get a perfect square

(ii) 180 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 5

Here, prime factor 5 has no pair. Therefore 180 must be multiplied by 5 to make it a perfect square.

\therefore180\times5=900

And \sqrt{900}=2\times3\times5=30

Find the smallest number that should be multiplied to 242 to get a perfect square

(iii) 1008 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 7

Here, prime factor 7 has no pair. Therefore 1008 must be multiplied by 7 to make it a perfect square.

\therefore1008\times7=7056

And \sqrt{7056}=2\times2\times3\times7=84

Find the smallest number that should be multiplied to 242 to get a perfect square

(iv) 2028 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 13 x 13

Here, prime factor 3 has no pair. Therefore 2028 must be multiplied by 3 to make it a perfect square.

\therefore2028\times3=6084

And \sqrt{6084}=2\times2\times3\times3\times13\times13=78

Find the smallest number that should be multiplied to 242 to get a perfect square

(v) 1458 = 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3

Here, prime factor 2 has no pair. Therefore 1458 must be multiplied by 2 to make it a perfect square.

The following steps will be useful to find the least number which has to multiplied by the given number to get a perfect square.

1. Decompose the given numbers into its prime factors.

2. Write the prime factors as pairs such that each pair has two same prime factors.

3. Find the prime factor which does not occur in pair. That is the least number to be multiplied by the given number to get a perfect square.

To find a square root of a number without a calculator, see if you can get to that whole number by squaring smaller numbers, or multiplying a smaller number by itself. If the number is a perfect square, you will get a whole number as the square root. Otherwise, try squaring numbers with a decimal until you get as close as possible to your original number.
