Solution

2925 can be factorised as follows.

3 2925
3 975
5 325
5 65
13 13
  1

2925 = 3 × 3 × 5 × 5 × 13

Here, prime factor 13 does not have its pair.

If we divide this number by 13, then the number will become a perfect square. Therefore, 2925 has to be divided by 13 to obtain a perfect square.

2925 ÷ 13 = 225 is a perfect square.

225 = 3 × 3 × 5 × 5

∴ `sqrt225` = 3 × 5 = 15
