Answer:
980 = 2 × 490 = 2 × 2 × 245 = 2 × 2 × 5 × 4 9 = 2 × 2 × 5 × 7 × 7.
If we examine the above factorization we find that;
980 = 2² × 5¹ × 7²,
we observe that whereas the prime factors 2 and 7 occurs in pairs, the factor 5 occurs only once. The smallest number by which 980 needs to be mutiplied to make the product a perfect square is 5, which would also make factor 5 occur in a pair.
Step-by-step explanation:
A perfect square always has its prime factors in pairs of two. So writing given number 980 as its prime factors-
980=2×2×5×7×7
So obviously if we multiply it by 5 , then it will become perfect squares.
