Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

we should divide it by 3 to get a perfect square .and the square root of the perfect square is 49

  • Given number is 7203. First we write it as the product of prime factors.

[tex]\begin{gathered}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\begin{gathered} \begin{array}{c|c} \underline{\sf{3}}& {\sf{ \underline{ \pink{7203} \: } \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: }} \\ \underline{\sf{7}}&{\sf{ \underline{2401 \: \: \: }\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: }} \\\underline{\sf{7}}&{\sf{ \underline{343 \: \: \: \: \: }\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: }} \\\underline{\sf{7}}&{\sf{ \underline{49\: \: \: \: \: }\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: }} \\\underline{\sf{7}}&{\sf{ \underline{7 \: \: \: \: \: }\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: }} \\\underline{\sf{}}&{\sf{ 1 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: }} \end{array}\end{gathered}\end{gathered}[/tex]

[tex]\qquad[/tex][tex]\purple{ \bf\longrightarrow 7203 = 3 \times 7 \times 7 \times 7 \times 7} [/tex]

  • Clearly 3 has no pair! That means if we divide 7203 by 3, we get 2401 which is the square of 49. Hence, the smallest number by which 7203 must be divided to make the result a perfect square is 3.
