What should be multiplied to 288 to become it a perfect square

Greetings from Brasil...

Follow the reasoning.

288 ÷ 2 = 144

and 144 its a perfect square (144 = 12²)

It is visible that if we multiply 288 by 1/2, we will obtain a perfect square, but we will do this via a simple equation

288 · X = 144

X = 144 ÷ 288

X = 0,5  ⇔ X = 1/2
