A teacher wants to arrange 2,800 students in a field such that the number of rows is equal to the number of columns. Find the number of rows if 96 were left out after the arrangement.
52
Number of students who participated in the arrangement =2,800−96=2,704
On prime factorizing 2,704, we get,
22,70421,352267623381316913131
2,704=2× 2× 2× 2× 13× 13
√2,704=2× 2× 13=52
Hence, the required number of rows =52
