Answer 2

Answer:

The least number which must be subtracted from 227 to get a perfect square is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

Given, 227 is a number and we need to find the least number which must be subtracted from 227 to get a perfect square.

Step 1:

By long division method,

              1)$\bar{2} \bar{27}$(15

              - 1    

             25 ) 127

                   - 125

                        0 02

Since, the remainder is 2 .

When we subtract 2 from 227 than we get a perfect square.

⇒ 227 - 2 = 225

⇒$\sqrt{225}$ = 15.

Final answer:

Hence, the least number which must be subtracted from 227 to get a perfect square is 2.
