(i)252 can be factorised as follows.

2 252
2 126
3 63
3 21
7 7
1

252 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 7

Here, prime factor 7 does not have its pair. If 7 gets a pair, then the number will become a perfect square. Therefore, 252 has to be multiplied with 7 to obtain a perfect square.

252 × 7 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 7 × 7

Therefore, 252 × 7 = 1764 is a perfect square

∴ √1764 = 2 x 3 x 7 = 42

(ii)180 can be factorised as follows.

2 180
2 90
3 45
3 45
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.

∴ √900 = 2 x 3 x 5 = 30
