Find the root of 2000 2000

2000 = 44.7 \sqrt {2000} = 44.7\ldots

Take the answer and go up to the next integer

44.7 45 44.7\ldots \Rightarrow 45

Square that number

4 5 2 = 2025 45^2 = 2025

Subtract 2000 2000

2025 2000 = 25 2025 - 2000 = 25

So the answer is 25 25


Proof

Let a a be a positive non-integer where a 2 = a^2 = Chosen number

x < a < y x < a < y

Where x x is the nearest integer towards zero and y y is the nearest integer away from zero

It stands to reason then that

x 2 < a 2 < y 2 x^2 < a^2 < y^2

So taking the value for y 2 y^2 should give us the closest perfect square above a 2 a^2

To find the difference you just

Let n = n = The answer

y 2 a 2 = n y^2 - a^2 = n

So applying this to our situation gives us

4 5 2 2000 = 25 45^2 - 2000 = 25

So it works.

Sq Root 2000 = 44.72

44*44 = 3936

45*45 = 2025

So, Least number to add is 25 to make it complete square.

44*44=1936

lets find the least no. to be perfect sq. of 2000

or, by division method, we get 44

therefore, 45 * 45 = 2025

the least no. is 25

Find out the perfect square of 2000 thus we get 44 and the upper is 45. 45's square is 2025. The answer is 25
