In the prime factorisation of a perfect square in power format, all primes must be to an even power.

5688 = 23 x 32 x 79

To convert this it a perfect square, it needs the 2 and 79 to have an even power - the 3 is already at an even power.

The smallest way to do this is to multiply 5688 by 2 x 79, ie multiply it by 158.

5688 x 158 = 23 x 32 x 79 x 2 x 79

= 24 x 32 x 792

= (22 x 3 x 79)2

= (948)2

= 898704

What is the smallest positive integer that 248832 can be multiplied by in order for the product to be a perfect square?

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
