Question

a general of army wants to arrange 36,562 soldiers in equal number of rows and columns. after the arrangement he found that some soldiers were left. how many soldiers were left?

Answer 1

81 soldiers are left

Answer 2

Answer:

81

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of rows

Since we are given that a general of army wants to arrange 36,562 soldiers in equal number of rows and columns.

So, no. of columns = x

So, $x \times x = 36562$

$x^2 = 36562$

$x =\sqrt{36562}$

$x =191.211$

So, no. of rows fully occupied = 191

So, $191 \times 191 =36481$

After the arrangement the number of soldiers left = 36562-36481 =81

Hence 81 soldiers were left after the arrangement.
