(i) 729
(ii) 400
(iii) 1764
(iv) 4096
(v) 7744
(vi) 9604
(vii) 5929
(viii) 9216
(ix) 529
(x) 8100



Answer -

(i) We have 729
Prime factors of 729
729 = 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 3
2 ×32 ×32
√729 = 3 × 3 × 3 = 27

(ii) We have 400
Prime factors of 400
400 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 × 5 = 2
2 ×22 ×52
√400 = 2 × 2 × 5 = 20

(iii) 1764
1764 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 7 × 7 = 2
2 ×32 ×72
√1764 = 2 × 3 × 7 = 42


(iv) 4096
4096 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2
= 2
2 ×22 ×22 ×22 ×22 ×22
√4096 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 64

(v) Prime factorisation of 7744 is
7744 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 11 × 11
= 2
2 ×22 ×22 ×112
√7744 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 11 = 88

(vi) Prime factorisation of 9604 is
9604 = 2 × 2 × 7 × 7 × 7 × 7 = 2
2 ×72 ×72
√9604 = 2 × 7 × 7 = 98

(vii) Prime factorisation of 5929 is
5929 = 7 × 7 × 11 × 11 = 7
2 ×112
√5929 = 7 × 11 = 77

(viii) Prime factorisation of 9216 is
9216 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 ×2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3
= 2
2 ×22 ×22 ×22 ×22 ×32
√9216 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 = 96

(ix) Prime factorisation of 529 is
529 = 23 × 23 = 23
2
√529 = 23

(x) Prime factorisation of 8100 is
8100 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 5 = 2
2 ×32 ×32 ×52
√8100 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 = 90
