Find the smallest number by which 1152 must be divided so that it becomes a square. Also, find the square root of the number so obtained.
1152 = (2 × 2) × (2 × 2) × 2 × (3 × 3)
Here 2 is unpaired so we have to divide 1152 with 2
Therefore,
= 22 × 22 × 22 × 32
Hence,
Square root of numbers = = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3
= 24
