Answer 1

Answer:

To find the least number which must be added to 6203 so that obtained number become a "Perfect Square"

Follow these steps to find least number.

Step 1 : Try to find out square root of given number i.e find the square root of 6203

( I have given the solution for finding square root of 6203 in image )

Square root of 6203 is about 78.75 means the next perfect square must be the square of 79.

Step 2 : Square of 79 = 6241

Step 3 : Now subtract 6203 from 6241 to get the least number.

=> 6241 - 6203 = 38

Therefore,The least number is 38 to be added to 6203 to become a perfect square.

Step 4 : Obtained number after adding 38 to 6203 is 6241

Now,the the square root of obtained number i.e 6241 is 79

Least number = 38 , Square root of Obtained number = 79
