For a number to be a perfect square, its prime factors must be separable into two identical sets. For a number to be a perfect cube, its prime factors must be separable into three identical sets. For a number to be a perfect 'fifth', its prime factors must be separable into five identical sets. ---- If N x 2 is separable into two identical sets of prime factors, then: * N must have an odd number of 2's in its prime factorisation. * All other prime factors of N must occur an even number of times. If N x 3 is separable into three identical sets of prime factors, then: * The prime factorisation of N must contain a number of 3's that is one less than a multiple of three. * All other prime factors of N must occur a number of times that is already a multiple of three. If N x 5 is separable into five identical sets of prime factors, then: * The prime factorisation of N must contain a number of 5's that is one less than a multiple of five. * All other prime factors of N must occur a number of times that is already a multiple of five. ---- From the above, we know that N's prime factorisation must contain 2's, 3's and 5's. How many times does 2 appear in the prime factorisation of N? - It must be an odd number. - It must be a multiple of three. - It must be a multiple of five. The smallest valid frequency is 15. How many times does 3 appear in the prime factorisation of N? - It must be an even number. - It must be one less than a multiple of three. - It must be a multiple of five. The smallest valid frequency is 20. How many times does 5 appear in the prime factorisation of N? - It must be an even number. - It must be a multiple of three. - It must be one less than a multiple of five. The smallest valid frequency is 24. ---- Therefore N = 215 x 320 x 524 = 6810125783203125000000000000000. That seems to be the smallest possible value.

Only if the integer is a perfect square.
Irrational. The square root of a positive integer is either an integer (that is, if the integer is a perfect square), or an irrational number.
Yes. The square root of a positive integer can only be an integer (if your integer is a perfect square), or an irrational number (if it isn't).

63= 9* 7. 9 is already a perfect square, so mulitiply by 7. 7 is your answer.
the answer is 144, it is divisible by 1, 4, 9, 16, 36, and 144.

In terms of prime factors, 1008 = 24*32*7 Then since 24 and 32 are perfect squares, all that is required is to make 7q a perfect square and so q = 7.
The prime factorisation of 248832 is 2¹⁰ × 3⁵ Every perfect square number has a prime factorisation where each prime is to an even power. 2 has an even power 3 has an odd power, so need an extra power → multiple 248832 by 3 which gets (2⁵ × 3³)²
