Solution
180 can be factorised as follows:
| 2 | 180 |
| 2 | 90 |
| 3 | 45 |
| 3 | 15 |
| 5 | 5 |
| 1 |
180 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5
Here, prime factor 5 does not have its pair. If 5 gets a pair, then the number will become a perfect square. Therefore, 180 has to be multiplied with 5 to obtain a perfect square.
180 × 5 = 900 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 5
Therefore, 180 × 5 = 900 is a perfect square.
∴ `sqrt(900)` = 2 × 3 × 5 = 30.
