Finding the Smallest Number to Subtract for a Perfect Square

The objective is to find the smallest number that, when subtracted from 63535, results in a perfect square.

Step 1: Calculate the Square Root

First, find the square root of the given number, 63535.

$ \sqrt{63535} \approx 252.0616 $

Step 2: Identify the Integer Part

The integer part of the square root is 252. This represents the largest integer whose square is less than or equal to 63535.

Step 3: Calculate the Largest Perfect Square

Square the integer part found in Step 2 to determine the largest perfect square less than 63535.

$ 252^2 = 63504 $

Step 4: Determine the Number to Subtract

Subtract the largest perfect square (calculated in Step 3) from the original number (63535) to find the smallest number that needs to be subtracted.

$ \text{Number to subtract} = 63535 - 63504 $

$ \text{Number to subtract} = 31 $

Conclusion

Subtracting 31 from 63535 gives 63504, which is a perfect square ($252^2$). Therefore, 31 is the smallest number that must be subtracted.
