When a number is a product of 6 and 225 and a multiplier is a perfect square number

1 answer

To analyze the scenario where a number is the product of 6 and 225, we first calculate the product:

\[ 6 \times 225 = 1350 \]

Next, we want to determine how this number relates to perfect square multipliers.

Step 1: Factorization of 1350

We can factor 1350 to understand its prime components:

\[ 1350 = 6 \times 225 = 2 \times 3 \times 15^2 \]

Further breaking it down:

\[ 15 = 3 \times 5 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 15^2 = (3 \times 5)^2 = 3^2 \times 5^2 \]

Thus,

\[ 225 = 15^2 = 3^2 \times 5^2 \]

Combining everything:

\[ 1350 = 2 \times 3^3 \times 5^2 \]

Step 2: Expressing 1350 in terms of primes

Now, we express 1350 as:

\[ 1350 = 2^1 \times 3^3 \times 5^2 \]

Step 3: Perfect Square Multiplier

A perfect square is a number that can be expressed as \(n^2\) for some integer \(n\). The prime factorization of a perfect square must have even powers for all prime factors.

To find a perfect square multiplier for 1350, we analyze the exponents in the factorization of 1350:

  • \(2^1\) (needs to be raised to \(2^2\), so we need one more \(2\))
  • \(3^3\) (needs to be raised to \(3^4\), so we need one more \(3\))
  • \(5^2\) (already a perfect square)

Step 4: Finding the multiplier

The necessary add-on to make the product a perfect square is:

\[ 2^1 \times 3^1 \]

Thus, a multiplier of:

\[ 2^1 \times 3^1 = 2 \times 3 = 6 \]

Step 5: Conclusion

To find a perfect square number that can be multiplied with 1350 to result in a perfect square:

\[ \text{Perfect Square Multiplier} = 6 \]

Therefore, if we multiply 1350 by its multiplier of 6:

\[ 1350 \times 6 = 8100 \quad \text{(which is a perfect square since } 90^2 = 8100) \]

In summary, 1350 is the product of 6 and 225, and for it to become a perfect square through multiplication, we multiply it by the perfect square multiplier of \(6\).
