To find the least number that must be subtracted from each of the given numbers so that the result is a perfect square, we will use the long division method for finding square roots. Let's solve each part step by step. ### (i) For 402: 1. **Pair the digits**: Start from the right, pair the digits: (4)(02). 2. **Find the largest square**: The largest square less than or equal to 4 is 2² = 4. 3. **Subtract**: 4 - 4 = 0. Bring down the next pair (02) to get 02. 4. **Double the root**: Double the root (2) to get 4. We need to find a digit (x) such that (40 + x)x ≤ 2. 5. **Trial and error**: Trying x = 0 gives us 0, which is less than 2. Trying x = 1 gives us 41, which is greater than 2. So, we take x = 0. ...
