Question

find the least number that must be added to 7344 to make it a perfect square​

Answer 1

Answer:

The least number that you can add to 7344 to make it a perfect square is 52 whereas the least number you can add to 6203 to make it a perfect square is 38.

Answer 2

Answer:

Here is how I would go about it:

Take the first two digits 73

Now the nearest square number below it is 64

So the first digit is 8.

Now consider the last two digits 44

The nearest square numbers are 36 and 49

So the second digit is 6 or 7

Now 86 * 86 = 7396 while 87 * 87 = 7569

So the nearest number is 7396

Hence the number to be added is 7396 - 7344 = 52
