Question

A general wishing to draw up his $64019$ men in the form of a square found that he had $10$ men extra. Find the number of men in the front row.

Answer 1

Men in the form of a square=$64019$
Extra men=$10$
To make it a perfect square=$64019-10$ $=64009$

	$253$
$2$ $+2$	$6\overline{40}\overline{09}$ $4$
$45$ $+5$	$240$ $225$
$503$	$1509$ $1509$

$\therefore$ Number of men in front row$=\sqrt{64009}$
$=253$
