hi friend  :
prime factors of 23064 are : 2*2*2*3*31*31
pairs are :2*31
since 2*3*31 is unpaired so 23064 should be divided by 186 to get a perfect square 
 
hope i helped you

       |___________
  31 |    961
       |___________
  31 |      31
       |___________
       |        1

Prime factorization of 23064 = 2*2*2*3*31*31

We can see that only 2 and 3 are unpaired.

So, 2*3 = 6, is the least number should be divided so that the resulting

number is a perfect square.
