67 <h3>Problem 1</h3>

68 <p>Can you express 84 as a perfect square?</p>

69 <p>Okay, lets begin</p>

70 <p>No, 84 cannot be expressed as a perfect square. </p>

71 <h3>Explanation</h3>

72 <p>A perfect square is a number we get when the same number is multiplied twice. To get 84 as the product, we can multiply number together, whose product is 84. The numbers whose product is 84 are: (1 × 84), (2 × 42), (3 × 28), (4 × 21), (6 × 14), (7 × 12) </p>

73 <p>Well explained 👍</p>

74 <h3>Problem 2</h3>

75 <p>Identify the multiples of 3 from the factors of 84</p>

76 <p>Okay, lets begin</p>

77 <p> The multiples of 3 from the factors of 84 are 3, 6, 12, 21, 42 and 84</p>

78 <h3>Explanation</h3>

79 <p>Multiples are numbers we get when another number multiplies the given number. Here, multiples of 3 are numbers we get when 3 is multiplied by another. </p>

80 <p>The multiples of 3 from factors of 84 are 3 (1×3), 6 (2×3), 12 (4×3), 21 (7×3), 42 (14×3), 84 (28×3) </p>

81 <p>Well explained 👍</p>

82 <h3>Problem 3</h3>

83 <p>Verify whether 84 is a multiple of 4</p>

84 <p>Okay, lets begin</p>

85 <p>Yes, 84 is a multiple of 4 </p>

86 <h3>Explanation</h3>

87 <p>Multiples of 4 are numbers we get when 4 is multiplied by another number. When 4 is multiplied by 21, we get 84 as the product(4×21=84). </p>
