Answer:

208 should be multiplied by 13 to make it a perfect square.

The product will be 2704 and its square root is 52.

Explanation:

I used excel to solve this.

In column A, I put numbers from 1 to 60.

In column B, I put the square of column A (these are our perfect squares).

In columns C I put column B divided by 208.

Then I looked for the first spot where column C produced an integer. It was on row 52.
