Solution

3698 = 2 x 43 x 43 

 

Grouping them into pairs of equal factors:
3698 = 2 x (43 x 43)
The factor, 2 is not paired. For a number to be a perfect square, each prime factor has to be paired. Hence, 3698 must be divided by 2 for it to be a perfect square.
The new number would be (43 x 43).
Hence, the number whose square is the new number is 43.
