Answer:

11

Steps:

Find the prime factores of 396.

These are 2x2x3x3x11.

Circle all the pairs and pick out the one that does not have a pair. In this case it is 11.

You can either multiply 396 by 11 or divide by 11 to make it a perfect square.

Since the question asks for divide. It’s 11

Hope this helps.

Good Luck
