Solution

The square root of 3250 can be calculated by long division method as follows:

  57
5 `bar32  bar50`
-25
107   750
 -749
     1

The remainder is 1. It represents that the square of 57 is less than 3250 by 1. Therefore, a perfect square can be obtained by subtracting 1 from the given number 3250.

Therefore, required perfect square = 3250 − 1 = 3249

And `sqrt(3249)` = 57
