Answer 2

Heya !!!!


Given :--

12748 ....

We have to find the smallest number by which it should be multiplied to make it a perfect Square.

For this.....
Let us first factorise it ...

12748 = 2 × 2 × 3187.

Now, we can clearly see that 2 is in pair but the other factor 3187 is single.
So, we will multiply it by 3187 to make a pair.

12748 × 3187 = 2 × 2 × 3187 × 3187.

Hence, the smallest number by which it should be divided to make a perfect square is 3187.

Hope it helps
