ANSWER IN SHORT WAY :-
L.C.M. of 21, 36, 66 = 2772.
Now, 2772 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 11
To make it a perfect square, it must be multiplied by 7 x 11.
So, required number
= 2^2 x 3^2 x 7^2 x 11^2
= 213444
ANSWER IN LONG WAY:-
So,
21 = 3*7
36 = 2*2*3*3
66 = 2*3*11
Let the required number be x.
So x has to have each of these number in a multiple of 2 to be a perfect square.
The Least Common Multiple (the smallest number divisible by these 3 integers) is 2772.
Now, 2772 = (3*3) * 7 * (2*2) * 11
So, for x to be a perfect square, there has to be an even number of 7 and 11.
3 and 2 already appear an even number of times.
So, x = 2772 * 7 * 11
=> x = 213444 (perfect square - 462*462)
