Given: The number √181.

To find: The perfect square that is closest to √181.

Solution:

The square of a number is the product of the number with itself. A number is called a perfect square when the square root of the number is a positive integer. The numbers 4, 9, 16 and 25 are perfect squares of the numbers 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively.

The squares of 4, 9, 16 and 25 are 16, 81, 256 and 625, respectively. The number 181 is closest to 256 and hence, the number √181 is the closest to 16.

Therefore, the perfect square that is closest to √181 is 16.
