Question

Find the least number which must be added to 3320 to make it a perfect square. Also find the square root of the perfect square so obtained.​

Answer 1

Using long division to find square root of \(3320\).

\(\therefore \sqrt{3320}=57.619\) i.e. it lies in between \(57\) and \(58\).

Now, \(57^2=3249,\; 58^2=3364\).

\(\Rightarrow\) The least number which must be added to \(3320\) to make it a perfect square is \(3364-3320=44\)
