Show that the following numbers is a perfect square. In case, find the number whose square is the given number:
$2601$

Answer

A perfect square is a product of two perfectly equal numbers.

Resolving into prime factors:

$2601$

$=9 \times 289$

$=3 \times 3 \times 17 \times 17$

$=3 \times 17 \times 3 \times 17$

$=51 \times 51$

$=(51)^2$

Thus, 2601 is the perfect square of 51.
