What is the smallest natural number by which 1620 must be DIVIDED so that the quotient is a perfect square?
A3
B5
C15
D45
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. 5
1620 = 2² × 3⁴ × 5. The prime 5 appears with an odd exponent (1). Dividing by 5 leaves 2² × 3⁴ = (2 × 9)² = 324 = 18², a perfect square. So the smallest divisor is 5.
