If (N=2^3 \times 3^2 \times 5), what is the smallest perfect-square multiple of (N)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (2^4 \times 3^2 \times 5^2)
Step 1: In a perfect square, all exponents must be even. Step 2: Make (2^3) into (2^4) and (5) into (5^2); (3^2) is already fine. Step 3: For the smallest square multiple, increase only the necessary exponents.
