Year 8 maths. quick
This is again urgent maths hw. please help me. thx
Find all three-digit even numbers N such that 693 x N is a perfect square, that is, 693 x N = k to the power of 2 where k is an integer
i am in yr 8. please explain in easy words...:P but answer it completly (i know im mean but wat u have dun will work) thx!
i get it and how it works but how did u get 693 = the factors 7,3,11. how did u get those 3 numbers?

The smallest N that qualifies is 308. I leave it to you to find the rest (if any).
Hint: What is the smallest number you can multiply this by and still leave the product a perfect square?
But 9 is 3 squared. :)

wasn't it stated that it must be divsible by 3 and to get perfect square you must times all the number by the same thing. E.g. 11 sqauredx 7 squared x 3 squared?
