Answer:
5 students are left out in the arrangement.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the number of rows = the number of columns
Then there must be an equal arrangement
Since the total number of students in the school is 2121
Then, the students that are left out in this arrangement = 2121 - (√2121 X √2121
Note the result of the square root would only consider the whole number, the digits after the decimal point signifies the remaining number that can't fit into the arrangement
so, √2121 = 46.05 (so 46 would be used)
= 2121 - (46 X 46)
= 2121 - 2116 = 5
Therefore 5 students are left out in the arrangement.
Okay, so let's go over multiplying negative numbers. A positive times a positive is a positive, right? But a negative times a negative is also a positive. Only a negative times a positive (or a positive times a negative) gives you a negative number. So, we know that one of our 2 numbers in this question must be negative; the other must be positive.
Let's now take a look at the factors of -147, starting with the positives. Obviously, -147 and 1 are factors: -147 * 1 = -147. What other factors of -147 are there?
What about 7? Try it: -147 / 7 = -21. So here are two factors: -21, and 7. They multiply to -147. Do they add up to -14? Let's see: -21+7 = 7+(-21) = 7-21= -14. Yup, that works!
Answer: -21 and 7
