  1. Answer 1. 1458 = 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3

    Here, prime factor 2 has no pair. Therefore 1458 must be multiplied by 2 to make it a perfect square.

    \therefore1458\times2=2916∴1458×2=2916

    And \sqrt{2916}=2\times3\times3\times3=54

    2916

    =2×3×3×3=54

    2. 768 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3

    Here, prime factor 3 has no pair. Tehrefore 768 must be multiplied by 3 to make it a perfect square.

    \therefore768\times3=2304∴768×3=2304

    And \sqrt{2304}=2\times2\times2\times2\times3=48

    2304

    =2×2×2×2×3=48

    Therefore 252 must be divided by 7 to make it a perfect square. Here, prime factor 13 has no pair. Therefore 2925 must be divided by 13 to make it a perfect square. Here, prime factor 11 has no pair.
