Solution

2028 can be factorised as follows:

2 2028
2 1014
3 507
13 169
13 13
  1

2028 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 13 × 13

Here, prime factor 3 does not have its pair. If 3 gets a pair, then the number will become a perfect square. Therefore, 2028 has to be multiplied with 3 to obtain a perfect square.

Therefore, 2028 × 3 = 6084 is a perfect square.

2028 × 3 = 6084 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 13 × 13

∴ `sqrt(6084)` = 2 × 3 × 13  = 78
