Question

Find the least number which must be added to 893304 to make it a perfect sqaure?

Answer 1

First let us find the square of 893304 using long division method.

The remainder is 279. Hence 945² < 893304.

 

The next perfect square number is 946² = 894916 > 893304.

Hence, the number to be added is 894916 - 893304 = 1612.

Therefore 1612 should be added to 893304 to get a perfect square.

Answer 2

/893304= 945 with remainder 279
 so next perfect square is (946)^2 = 894916

therefore, least number to be added =  894916 -  893304
                                                          =  1612
