Solution
605 = 5 x 11 x 11
Grouping them into pairs of equal factors:
605 = 5 x (11 x 11)
The factor, 5 is not paired. For a number to be a perfect square, each prime factor has to be paired. Hence, 605 must be multiplied by 5 for it to be a perfect square.
The new number would be (5 x 5) x (11 x 11).
Furthermore, we have:
(5 x 5) x (11 x 11) = (5 x 11) x (5 x 11)
Hence, the number whose square is the new number is:
5 x 11 = 55
